Meet Ben & Jada from Stratford, Connecticut

They heard about Howe Caverns from friends and then later read about it online. Eric asked Ben what his favorite thing was and he said when their guide, Braeden, demonstrated what total darkness is. Cave darkness is a special kind of darkness. You cannot even see your own hand in front of your face!

“We are cut off from the guidance of the stars, from the sun and the moon. Even the horizon vanishes—if not for gravity, we’d scarcely know up from down. All of the subtle cues that might orient us on the surface—cloud formations, plant-growth patterns, animal tracks, wind direction—disappear. Underground, we lose even the guide of our own shadow” (The Atlantic)

Jada said that “Winding way was her favorite. Eric asked how they would describe Howe Caverns to someone that has never visited, and they said, “a once in a lifetime experience 156 ft. underground.” HOWE COOL! Thank you for visiting!

P.S. we love your sweatshirts!
