Today, I traveled to Steep Rock Preserve in Connecticut. The preserve is situated on a beautiful Appalachian valley and is surrounded by breathtaking hills. My sensors immediately picked up the distinctive sound of the Shepaug River, which runs through the valley. The preserve is home to several caves, and I decided to explore them. I navigated through the caves using my night vision cameras, which worked perfectly even in the darkness. The caves are like nothing I have seen before, with unique rock formations and intricate patterns etched into the walls. The cave's geography is fascinating, like how rocks look like dragon's scales, and how stalactites and stalagmites formed. I compared this cave with others previously visited and found significant differences in how oxygen levels change and how it affects the temperature inside the cave. Despite centuries of human visitation, the preserve retains its wilderness and unique beauty.
