Penn's Cave - Centre Hall, Pennsylvania

Hello folks! It has been a little longer than a week since I have posted. Life has been busy! I started school on Tuesday. The beginning of my Master's Degree in Anthropology (Cultural) is in the making. I am pretty excited and slightly nervous. I have been given a full ride to attend at NDSU. So far so good, it looks as if it is going to be an interesting semester. I will be teaching a few undergrad classes as I am attending school, so there is a lot of experience to be had in the two years!

The next place I want to share is Penn's Cave in Centre Hall, Pennsylvania. Let me just start off with
I
love
this
place.
I could live here someday. Seriously.

The town is small and friendly. My sister and I parked on Pennsylvania Ave with only a few other cars around. We were pretty happy to be a few hours away from the busy interstate. Being from Montana, you often take the peace and quiet for granted until you are smack in the middle of busy central.
Anyway, even the main street in Centre Hall was quiet. There were many old style buildings. A lot of retirees just sitting on the front porch of businesses etc, soaking up the sun. It was so peaceful.
We ate dinner at a small pizzeria called Brother's Pizza, and it was glorious. The staff was friendly and the food was outstanding.

THE Penn's Cave was SO neat.
It is the country's only all water cave and is simply outstanding. It is hard to describe the awe we were in while we took the 90 minute tour through the cave. They take you by boat in small groups and give you a full history of the place. I won't spoil the details of the tour. But look at the pictures!
Yea...we went in this tiny opening for a cave with the boat...

The cave was discovered by Seneca Indians and has since turned into a tourist attraction. It is not small in that no one knows about it, but it is never crowded with people. Just a steady trickle. So you will not be overwhelmed when you visit Penn's Cave. Guaranteed. It is a little off the grid, so to speak.

I hope you will be in the neighborhood someday. You will remember it forever.
