Cave Exploring at Spring Mill...

My boys' Bible study group went cave exploring and hiking at Spring Mill State Park last Sunday. (19th September.) We hiked down to Bronson Cave and Twin Caves, and then drove across to the Pioneer Village where we hiked Trail 4 and saw Hamer Cave and then Donaldson Cave. We also had a delicious picnic lunch. All told, we hiked around 7 kms (4.3 miles)! It was lovely to hike in God's beautiful creation!

Hiking up to Hamer Cave. This is the dam that supplies water to the grist-mill.

Donaldson Cave - the water flows through the gap there.

The tunnel went on and on, while the ceiling and sides closed in. It was quite cramped!
