Outside of Black Chasm Caverns in Calaveras County, a few hours east of the Bay Area...they had a mining sluice going on here.

I guess during the summer, they let kids pan for gold out here.

Black Chasm is at least initially a very vertical tour...you keep descending further in...stopping at several different landings to look around...and look down at the darkness below.

Like frosting on a cake...ok maybe little icicles.
