Yes, he's real. And he's tinier than the picture makes him out to be. This one is just over two inches long. We saw a couple of them that were only 1 inch long.
These caverns are supposed to be the "deepest" east of the Mississippi. At the bottom point of the visitation tour, we were 378 feet beneath the surface. The large iron content in the soil above causes the red tint to the deposits.
Nice drapery deposits.
In general, Debbie and I thoroughly enjoyed the hour long tour, and saw some very interesting formations. However, there were fewer "fantastic" and impressive formations in this cave than in some others we've seen, such as the Kentucky Down Under caverns, near Mammoth Cave, or even Grand Caverns just a few miles from our home.
