This was the original entrance to the cave. Wind Cave is a boxwork cave and has no stalagmites or stalagtites. There are very few boxwork caves in the world. There are over 100 miles that have been charted and they are still looking for more.
The wind coming out of the cave is quite strong. The sound was how it was first discovered. Alvin McDonald began exploring the cave in 1890. He had a candle and a ball of string. He kept a detailed journal of his explorations.
This is the boxwork formation. The cave is 57 degrees and has no bats due to the low temperature.
I think I am going to call this the year of the caves. We went to two caves in TN and this one in SD.
