Moaning Cavern in Vallecito, California (the Gold Country)
According to Wikipedia...
Moaning Cavern is a solutional cave located near Vallecito, California in the heart of the state's Gold Country. It is developed in marble of the Calaveras Formation. It was discovered in modern times by gold miners in 1851, but it has long been known as an interesting geological feature by prehistoric peoples. It gets its name from the moaning sound made by water dripping into small holes at the bottom of the chocolate waterfall flowstone formation, causing a drumming sound, which would echo off the cave walls and be carried by the wind out of the natural entrance of the cavern. The portion of the cave developed for tourists consists of a spacious vertical shaft 165 feet tall, which is descended by a combination of stairs and a unique 100-foot-high (30 m) spiral staircase built in the early 1900s. It is open to the public for walking tours, rappelling, and spelunking. Including the off-trail areas, the cave reaches a depth of 410 feet.
Moaning Cavern is also an archaeological site, where some of the oldest human remains known in America were discovered. The cave has long been the resting spot for the bodies of prehistoric people who fell into its opening. The bones were preserved by the mineral-rich water in the cave.
A Natural Wonder In Calaveras County, The Moaning Cavern!
Hidden in cave country in Calaveras County, CA right next to Vallecito, is this natural wonder. A cave so big you can fit the Statue Of Liberty inside of it!
The Moaning Cavern got it's name from natural formations that made a low hum when water would drip down and land in small holes made from thousands of years of natural erosion.
They tried to mine gold in this cavern during the gold rush, but not much was found. Still some entrepreneurs saw the value in this natural marvel and opened it up for tourists!

***** I was having major problems with imovie glitching and not playing back the correct footage. Rather than start all over again with a fresh project (which is what apple customer service recommended) I just uploaded it to YouTube, so please excuse any glitches. I'm thinking I need a better movie editing program...Final cut maybe? Anyways, Hope you enjoy.

Missy Jenn's Move to California..Spectacular Glenwood Cavern!
As the road narrowed making our way West through the Rockies, I had almost a claustrophobic sense in that the sides of the roadway seemed to be getting closer and closer. It was no illusion. It was the beginnings of the Colorado River, in a very narrow chasm

Zip-Lining at Moaning Cavern Park in Murphy's, CA
From Mon.- Wed. we were at Angels Camp horse-back riding, cavern exploring, gem mining, and zip-lining 1500ft. up in the air for 40 sec. The view was amazing! The horse-back riding was the best experience in my life by far. I fell in love with the gelding i was riding named Duke...
It was so fun! I can't wait to go back!
Bye-Bye for now.
