Five US Destinations for Wanna-be Cave Dwellers

If you enjoy caving there are some great destinations in the US for cave lovers. One of the best locations in fact, is an entire state. The state of Missouri is well known for caves and caverns, many of which are rumored to have been used as outlaw hideouts during the days of the Wild West and later the depression era. Several Missouri caves are, according to legend, former hideouts of Jesse and Frank James, and many people believe that bank robbery gold is still buried in the hills. Pretty Boy Floyd during the depression did most of his hiding out in the Ozarks near Bolivar, Missouri, and often hid in Fantastic Caverns, a popular tourist attraction today for the beauty of the rock walls. A little south of Bolivar is the town of Branson, a well known tourist destination today which had its early start in tourism because of Marvel Cave, a great place full of natural rock formations that reminds one of the cave in Tom Sawyer, where Tom and Becky were lost. In the 1800′s Marvel Cave was the scene of meetings of the Baldknobbers, a vigilante group, but by the 1920′s it was a tourist attraction and has been one ever since. Surrounded today by music shows and other attractions, it is still popular for its beauty and wonder.
