This was really cool. I mean cool...it never reaches over 70 degrees inside. So you can imagine how nice it felt being that it was well over 100 degrees outside. The cave was bought in 1951, by the Chamberlains and is still owned by the family today. It originally was made into a bar and dance hall. The Chamberlains paved the floor of the cave, painted the walls white and installed bars and an orchestra stage.
Now, the cave has a showcase of a wide variety of items collected and created by the Garth Chamberlain over his lifetime. These include: dinosaur tracks, wood carvings, paper currency (both real and otherwise), as well as a large (and rather strange) fluorescent mineral display. Sections of the original bar and dance hall are still there.
I think what Zeke liked the best was that Garth Chamberlain played in the NFL with the Pittsburgh Steelers back in the mid 40's.
