As I stated in my earlier post, the topic for this month's Science Club is geology. The follow-up field trip was to a man-made cavern under the city of Louisville called the Mega Caverns. M, T, C, Eli, and I went to the caverns. It was a very interesting trip. We learned about mining techniques, cave formations, Kentucky limestone, and the importance of this cavern during the Cold War. The cavern is used for numerous things. Some uses are for storage of vehicles, Louisville's road salt, old films for some of the big Hollywood movie studios, food supplies, warehouses, etc. To learn more about this fascinating cavern check out their website. http://www.louisvillemegacavern.com/
