Seneca Rocks

And so we went to Seneca Rocks in the Monongahela National Forest. We went straight for the visitor center, where we could go on a easy hike up to Seneca Rocks. Up there we could see down the valley. Our Camp was near but hidden among the trees.
We camped at the Seneca Shadows Campground and the next day, we decided to check out the Seneca Caverns. They were interesting and beautiful. It was a guided tour and we were the only foreign tourists, the other ones were all fromn somewhere of the US. Here we actually met our first true republican, a man with a gun on his belt and managing to disrupt the tour with not knowing how to stop talking. The tour guide was very brave, trying to get his fun facts through, but as soon as he would say something like "do you see the animals on these walls?", the republican would chime in and say "there were also animals on the arch of Noah in the bible". The republican also said that before the tour, everybody should sign a waiver and state if they are republican or liberal and if they are liberal, they shouldn't be allowed here (because liberals are bad).
We were really surprised hearing this kind of opinion. But we didn't say anything while we were there. On our way back to the camp, we did try our best to imitate is broad american accent by saying "I sure hope there ain't any damn liberals down there (in the cave)".
Yeah...
We did go to another cavern (Smoke Hole Cavern). Which was also nice, but at some point, a cavern is a cavern (a wet cave, by defintion).
Then we went back to Seneca Shadows, which was our second and last night here.Les mer
