Marengo Cave 地下洞穴 標準的三羊胡子

Marengo Cave 地下洞穴，比不上國內那些有名的洞穴，不過在美國也是幾部電影拍攝的場地。去了趟也增加了不少有關洞穴的知識，這裏有不少的活動一家人都可以參與。想輕鬆點的就跟著導遊走洞穴的兩個線路，兩個地方景色不一樣。想冒險要刺激的，那就去爬洞穴，體驗探險者的經曆，小孩可以淘寶石，喜歡水的可以去劃船，總之這裏是個休閑的去處，都說美中比較枯燥，那麽在枯燥的印州這個地方還是吸引了不少人前去。點擊視頻跟我走一趟這個地下洞穴。



還去了個馬廄，說是可以騎馬，但那天馬兒羊兒休息，失望之下，主人還是讓我參觀了馬廄，看了馬和羊。馬兒都屁股對著我，主人特意牽了一匹出來讓我拍了個正麵合影。羊可是很好玩，一走近就鑽出腦袋來，還要站的高高的好像是女人穿了高跟鞋那樣。它們是山羊嗎？那胡子象是山羊的，可這裏是平原啊。



附上洞穴的部分解說詞。這些洞穴英文都有專用詞，中文我隻知道鍾乳石。不知道有沒有對應的專用詞，也許大家可以告訴我。

。。。You wait in line here. You can see the Gemstone Mining. Sifting through the dirt and rock, like early miners did, you may discover sparkling emeralds, dazzling rubies, and other assorted gemstones.

。。。Stalagmites are formed by water dripping from the ceiling. When the drop lands, calcite is deposited and a stalagmite grows upward.

。。。Stalactites, a most common cave formation, they grow downward until touching the cave floor. When the drop lands, calcite is deposited and a stalagmite grows upward.

。。。Cave popcorn or cave coral, this formation can be found in many sizes, shapes, and colors.

。。。Helictites are small, twisted formations that project from cave ceilings, walls, and even the floor. They grow erratically and defy the laws of gravity。

。。。Draperies are when water entering a cave flows down a sloping ceiling, it deposits calcite in thin, translucent sheets that hang in delicate folds like draperies. Minerals provide color.

。。。Rimstone dams are formed as water flows over an edge, calcite deposits around the edge of the dam.
