For my second location I visited Stump Cross Caverns. I am not sure why I expected more than just rocks, but that was what made up a good 90% of my trip. Admittedly there are some very visually pleasing rocks, and the caverns themselves were very beautiful.
But rocks are very hard to draw.
We passed a grand total of two people in the cave. They seemed in a hurry to get out so we didn't have time to chat with them.
Various animal bones have been found in Stump Cross, and a selection of bats live there (though I did not see any). I suppose it could be interesting to make a catalogue of animals but I feel that this would be very basic.
One of the more interesting and humourous sides to Stump Cross is the various labelled stalagmites they have that are reported to supposedly look like other objects. Pareidolia is a very real phenomenon but these references are definitely stretched. Aesthetically they don't make great images but are funny to look at.
Geoff Workman is also an interesting historical point of Stump Cross. He spent 105 days in isolation in the cave for science. What an achievement. Top notch.
