Touring Onandaga cave

For my birthday we went on a tour of Onandaga and Cathedral caves. This video was a bit difficult and well here it is. Hope you enjoy! I’m out Rockhounding as I upload this so stay tuned for more Rockhounding content soon.

That was really awesome! I would love to see cathedral cave! The cave was massive and gorgeous and it's history and land battles for it were very interesting. Very cool cave system and the lily pad room was really awesome! Thank you for the cave tour!! And my birthday is 3 days after yours! Thanks Dustin!

Heck yeah your birthday is one day after Jeff’s then! We should party sometime 😆 Cathedral cave is coming for sure… Everyone is going to want to see the grotto salamander and the fossilized grotto salamander preserved in a stalagmite!

What a wonderful adventure to go on and the guide is so well informed.

[@dustinfindsrocks]

This is definitely my favorite cave in Missouri but Cathedral cave we checked out after this was really cool to.

I am so thankful for this video! As you know, I am handicapped, and would never be able to make such a trek through the cave! You gave me a chance of a lifetime! Thank you so much, Dustin!❤

[@dustinfindsrocks]

😘 I have one more cave video coming… I’m glad you enjoyed it!

[@TheAdventureCloset]

Glad you didn't drop your phone. This was such a cool tour. It's so massive and all the flowstone is really impressive. Crazy all the fossils in there too. Seeing the formations under water was epic. What a place! So cool. Yes, we want to see Cathedral Cave fo sho.

[@dustinfindsrocks]

Lol thanks so much I specifically did that just for entertainment. I had a death grip on my phone 😂 yeah… everybody is gonna wanna see the bling grotto salamander we spotted… Thankfully my friend Kyran toured Cathedral cave and got some superb photos of a grotto salamander. It’s going to be tough to edit but I’m hopeful it’ll be an even better video than this one

[@jeanniehoffman2769]

That was fun! Thank you for taking us with you. Watched the whole video and waiting for cathedral cave.

[@dustinfindsrocks]

I haven’t started editing… it’s gonna be a bear but I’ll definitely put it out there. That cave was just as cool and we spotted some wildlife! Hope you’re ready to see some crazy stromatolite fossils!

[@GREEKEXPLORERS]

Amazing video!! Thanks for sharing!!

[@dustinfindsrocks]

Thank you so much for your continued support 👍🏻

[@huntingrocks]

YES!!! I want to see cathedral cave. This was a great video I watched start from finish and not because your my friend but I found this very very cool. I have never been to Onandaga and you were not kidding this cave is way cooler than Meramech. Killer video brother

[@dustinfindsrocks]

Seriously we’re going to have to try and do a private tour of Cathedral cave. It’s cool man! Thanks so much I was debating on even putting this video out. It was ok but didn’t turn out as good as I hoped. Really appreciate you brother!

Loved it ❣️ I'd love to see the cathedral cave too. Thanks.

[@dustinfindsrocks]

Working on the video now

[@litterpicker]

Belated happy birthday!

[@dustinfindsrocks]

Thank you 😊

Not easy to capture the splendor of caves on video. You did great with this one! I've wanted to visit this cave for a while. I'll probably add it to my Copper Valley Mine trip this summer. If you're ever in Tennessee check out Raccoon Mountain Caverns. Take the wild cave tour. You'll see a bunch of insitu fossils, including a intact crinoid.

[@gingermackeen5741]

Watched the whole thing! Very cool! I know I've been in Meramec Caverns, but don't think I ever visited Onandaga. Thanks for sharing?😊

[@dustinfindsrocks]

Thank you 😊 Meramec caverns is neat but it just isn’t as cool as Onandaga. Stay tuned for Cathedral cave

[@phillipswafford5810]

That was awesome! Had no idea that flowstone was or could be calcite

[@dustinfindsrocks]

Yep (almost) all cave formations are calcite
