The day after my dad’s memorial in Safford, I headed back to
Tucson for a flight home the next morning. On the drive west (November 3rd), I
stopped at Kirchner Caverns in time for a 90-minute tour of the Big Room. Wow,
very cool. Unfortunately, no cameras are allowed, not even the cell phone kind,
since people have a habit of absentmindedly (or intentionally) taking flash
photos when asked not to. The light damages the delicate ecosystem of the cave
and, of course, disrupts the ambience of this mysterious underworld. Kirchner
was discovered just a few decades ago and has emerged as one of the more
coveted caves in the U.S., and certainly among the best preserved.
