To further advance our research, the Water Boyz continued our quest for water underground.

Underground Cavern

The Water Boyz would like to document how water shows its patience by turning limestone into a natural phenomenon. Here’s the official message on the cave formation posted on the Natural Bridge Cavern website:

The cavern formed by an underground “river” moving slowly through cracks and pores within the limestone. Rain Water seeping through cracks started dissolving the limestone. In time, the original narrow cracks or joints enlarged to form huge underground conduits or passages.

Perhaps due to changes in climate, vegetation, or other natural forces, the water drained to lower levels within the earth. As the water left the upper passages, it moved deeper and started forming a second level. The water eventually moved to another level even deeper within the earth. As the water left the lower level, stresses within the rock led to many of the layers collapsing to form break-out domes. This final stage of collapse led to the creation of the passages our visitors now see.

Thanks to our readers, rain water has been voted as one of our fans’ favorite form of water in our recent poll. Here is a close up shot of rain water in the cavern for y’all to worship:
