Huntington, West Virginia is at the edge of the border of West Virginia, where it joins Kentucky and Ohio. In fact, downtown Huntington is at the edge of the Ohio river and one can stand on the bank of the river and see Ohio on the other side. This is me standing with Ohio in the background.
The second day of my trip, Piyali, Simon and myself drove to Kentucky to the Carter Caves. This was the entrance to cave we went into and our guide. I LOVED the accent of the Kentucky folks!
The cave was beautiful with many natural formations related to the process by which caves are formed. Here is one.
Caves are formed by stalagmites and stalagtites -- limestone dissolving in the water and forming extensions of the ceiling and floor, respectively.
These are stalagmites.
The photo below shows a large stalagtite.
Here is Piyali and Simon inside the cave.
