"Not in this cave," stated Cave of the Mounds staff geologist, Anne Bandow. "Many Wisconsin caves do shelter bats of several species and other creatures, but Cave of the Mounds has never had animal residents." Until Aug. 4, 1939, the Cave of the Mounds was completely sealed below thick layers of limestone. There was no way for animals or humans to get in or out. The cave was a total secret until workers blasted through what they thought was a solid wall of rock and were amazed to discover the large underground cavern. Prior to that sur­ prising event, no light had ever shone nor had eyes of any living creature peered iaside. "And since discovery, the opening has been sealed from all but our human visitors," said Bandow. The Cave of the Mounds remains virtually untouched. Visitors are able to see for themselves the natural beauty of this rare treasure, so long guarded by its thick rock walls! You can take a guided tour any month of the year, as the cave's natural temperature is a constant 50 degrees Fahrenheit. The Cave of the Mounds is located 20 miles west of Madison, Wis., in Blue Mounds, Wis. For tour information, call (608) 437-3038 or write Brigham Farm, Dept. B, Blue Mounds, Wis. 53517.

Nam* StrMt AH City Stat* Zip • KUIUUN AP*«TMIXT J Springtime, our season of moist breezes, warm sunshine and budding plants has arrived. As we watch the sur­ face of the earth go through the swift seasonal changes, underground where we seldom see, nature slowly creates a secret garden of cystalline formations, caverns, and pools. Inside the Cave of the Mounds, a subterranean world awaits all visitors. In the cave, there are no seasons, no wind or weather. Here, the passing of years is measured in mere hundredths- of-inches of crystalline growth. It takes thousands of years for these crystal blossoms to grow to the size of a daf­ fodil. A tour of the cave reveals hundreds of sparkling crystal formations in a gem­ like setting. The cave's environment is remarkably calm and stable. The temperature is a constant 50 degrees Fahrenheit year-round. As the tour begins, your eyes become accustomed to the darkness, you begin to make out shapes and colors in the glow of specially placed lights. A chorus of "oohs and ahhs" greets the first view of a mighty ridge of stalagmites rising from the floor of the cave. The guide points a beam of light to the cave's glistening lifeline. This fissure in the earth is the source of the countless droplets of water which over eons have dissolvea enough limestone to form the "cave's hugh main cavern. Stalactites, those Icicles of stone, drape downward."Remember," says the guide, "stalactites hang tight to the ceiling, but stalagmites might grow up there someday." It takes ages for stalactites and stalagmites to grow. The guide tells us that one-cubic-inch of crystal is formed every 50 to 150 years. Formations in the Cave of the Mounds will fill a house or church. And the pro­ cess continues today. All along the lifeline you'll hear the repeated staccato splash of mineral-laden water. The tour of this underground world takes about one hour. A knowledgeable guide leads you through a maze of rooms, passageways, and meandering stream beds. There is a time to stop to examine strange shapes and pierce the shadows with a'well-aimed spotlight or to experience the sensation of total darkness. Before making your way to the familiar world of the surface again, take a last look down the long passage of shimmering crystals. Once above ground, enjoy the spring weather with a picnic amid the rock gardens and greenery on the cave grounds. Or, you can have a meal or snack at the Brigham Hearth Restaurant, also on the grounds. Nature's version of marbles created in underground pools Nature's version of a child's marble is called an oolite. Oolites or "cave pearls" are formed in underground pools and are among the most unusual speleothems found at Cave of the ^Mounds. Beneath the ground, towering stalagmites as well as little oolites grow from individual, tiny crystals. Drip by drip, water releases its burden of minerals dissolved from the limestone overhead. Geologists say it takes an average of 50 to 150 years for just one-cubic-inch of crystal formation. The calcite forma­ tions, called speleothems, range from delicate and translucent tubular stalac­ tites to thick crystal cascades of colorful flowstone. Wisconsin's Cave of the Mounds has the upper Midwest's widest array of speleothems. Guided tours highlight the cave's geologic history and visitors learn to identify more than 11 different crystal formations. Tours are led throughout the year; the cave has a con­ stant temperature of 50 degrees Fahrenheit.
