Jamie Brown Takes Your To Old Doylestown and Local Caves
The crystal caves in the caverns of north eastern Pennsylvania offer a crisp and cool and tranquil escape from the heat of the muggy PA summer heat. Few places hold this spiritual aura vibrating from the stalactites aiming water from nature’s targeted positions on the ceiling into the water below.
Over millions of years the walls of these ancient caves have been discolored, copper toned from the rocks natural metallic presence and the most beautiful patterns from the iron veins sprawling the intricate dents and cracks in the walls.
Rodents of ancient lineage have inhabited these caves as their food supply has evolved along with them. Even a little gray rat paddling across the water from one side of the cavern to the other does so in a graceful manner without the ‘yuk’ factor to spoil the setting. Look closer on the walls and one can see ancient attempts to make art out of the native’s reality; a reality that was strenuous and difficult to survive.
The winters are ice cold with snow drifts that can stretch 10 feet or more in this particular region. The summers are so diabolically hot they’ll rape you of your last breath as pollen tumble weed dust infest your lungs. The sketchings on the wall are etched by hands who knew a labor far more strenuous than we could ever imagine.
These caverns, when one listens carefully, beneath the layers of drips, gentle paddle swooshes and silence, the voices of the past come calling. Whispers of men who once inhabited these hills and underground abysses telling us a story of times long past. The powers have changed hands, the land title and deed falls into the corrupt hands of the local sheriff and this ancient place is just a distant memory as people from Doylestown, Chalfont and Philadelphia come to buy souvenirs and t-shirts to remember a place that they never took the time to understand in the first place.
Pennsylvania’s Lost River Caverns are some of the most beautiful and hypnotizing sites you’ll ever see.
