The fourth day was another enjoyable day of spelunking. The cave we explored is called Mercer Caverns in Calaveras County California. In this cave there was a mineral, very rare when it is untouched. It is called an aragonite crystal.

After our Mercer Caverns tour we went to a nearby river for a picnic and some play time.

And that is how we ended our fourth day of the Treasures of California Field Trip!
