Tad:
This is a small cave which goes back about two or three feet
into the sandstone. The way the sandstone erodes is very
interesting. When it rains, the water hits the rock, and
is absorbed. As it is absorbed, it reacts with the chemicals
in the rock to make an acid. The acid eats at the rock from
the inside out, so you often have these amazing formations
inside the caves where the rock was eroded.
