Late last week Lynsey and I took an epic road trip home, where we managed to turn a 9 hour trip into 14 hours. ( like only we know how to do)
Part of that reason was due to signs we saw all along the highway advertising some sort of amazing placed called Ruby Falls and based on the signs, we COULD NOT MISS.
So after a trip off the interstate that pretty much landed us at a gas station where the attendant was holding up ONE DOLLAR BILLS to make sure they were real, and a long winding road up a mountain that I was sure we would plummet off of, we made it to Ruby Falls.
I have to admit, it was a pretty cool adventure. We paid about $20 and got in line to go into an elevator shaft that dropped you deep into the mountain. Then we walked about 1200 feet to a cave that hosted a waterfall smack dab in the middle of it. It was pretty hard to take pictures, mainly because the group was moving fast and you felt guilty if you stood there long enough to prep a shot. Plus, it was relatively dark resulting in camera shake. Nonetheless, I wanted to share because it really was an amazing sight. The pictures you see below are not edited to create these colors, but are lighting inside the cavern to help accentuate what you see. If they didn’t have lights, the entire place would be black as black could be.
