The descent down the elevator shaft went smoothly and without incident. Some 140 feet below the earth's surface, the elevator doors opened and our guide led the four of us onto the path that we would follow on our tour through the visitor portion of the caverns.

Located in the scenic Schoharie Valley of New York State, Howe Caverns is 40 miles from Albany. From Milan, New Hampshire, it is about a sic-hour drive, providing that you don't stop along the way. My wife and I did stop along the way to feed both ourselves and our car. We left Milan close to 8:30 Saturday morning a week ago and arrived at the Howe Caverns motel, where we stayed for the night, around 3:30 in the afternoon.
