In April 2008 the Earth Science and Conservation classes went to explore the beautiful underground scenery at Illinois Caverns State Natural Area located south of Belleville, IL.  We had a great time descending into the darkness, wading through the stream that still flows underground, and seeing bats inside the cave.   For more information about Illinois Caverns, visit their website.
