The Scouts visited the Grand Canyon Caverns, located near Peach Springs, and had a blast! We traveled 20 stories below the surface to see crystals, rock formations, a mummified bobcat, the remains of a giant ground sloth, and even a wedding platform! There are also supplies in the caverns for 2000 people that were placed there during the Cuban Missile Crisis, when the caverns were declared a Fallout Shelter. The supplies are still good today, as the temperature there is a constant 56 degrees and due to it being a dry cavern there are no bacteria in the cavern.
After the tour we all headed to the local A&W Root Beer, located on Historic Route 66, for lunch. The Scouts all had a great time, and so did the leaders!
