Today we visited many natural sites. First we went to Dolly Sods. Our walk started off with a sign warning visitors not to touch the bombs. Luckily we did not see any bombs, but we did see lichen and carnivorous sundew plants. We saw the sphagnom moss which will eventually become coal ( not anytime soon). Next we climbed around on the rocks at Bear Rocks. It was beautiful enough to make you not afraid of heights. Then we we
nt to Seneca Rock and saw the vertically layered rocks. Then it was off to Smokehole Caverns. It was interesting to see all the stalagmites, stalagtites, flowstone, an underground lake and an artesian well. It was a comfortable 52 degrees in the ¼ mile long underground cavern. We then went from underground to the highest point in West Virginia, Spruce Knob. The weather did not cooperate but it was still interesting to see what we could. On the way to dinner we saw the sign for the Eastern Continental Divide and of course we all jumped out to get a picture.
