Why weren't there any Rubys at Ruby Falls??

say CHEEEESE!
she was amazed at every turn
this was our families favorite, it really looked like a fish.
the Waterfall!
checking out the mountain...

As we were leaving our first stop (Ruby Falls), Hannah says mom we missed something.

What did we miss?

The Ruby's!!

No baby the man named the waterfall after his wife Ruby, remember we just heard all about it. NO, I don't remember....So much for learning something!!

It was very interesting learning all about this cave and how still to this day they don't know where the water comes from....at one point our tour guide said right now we are (I don't remember how many feet under ground) it was the equivalent of the Empire state building on top of us!! That was a little freaky sounding....no panic attacks occurred. I saved that for when I was 1000's of miles above the ground :):)

If you want the whole story here it is... http://www.rubyfalls.com/history.htm
