- In case you want to refresh yourselves,
you can always go to
www.calveslives.org
and while you're there I'd love it
if you'd check out the evaluation.
Because any time you fill out the evaluations
you help us to refine these programs,
and get them a little bit better
for every time we do the next one.
Helps us learn what you learned,
and what you need more of.
On that site you'll also see tons of resources.
You'll have other videos that you can go back
and re-watch over and over and over
and grab a tub of popcorn
and bring your whole family and sit, right?
You can binge-watch the whole Caves Lives series.
It's awesome.
(chuckling)
So, right now I just want to thank--
- Oh wait wait wait wait wait.
Wait.
Before we stop,
he's been asking us all these questions, right?
Amtchat, I have a question for you.
- Alright.
- So, I don't know if you all know this--
- Stalactites?
- No, you already--
- No.
- (laughing)
- Already answered that one.
- Right.
- So, I don't know if you guys knew this
but Amtchat was very nervous
about going into caves to start with
when we started this whole Caves Lives journey.
(Amtchat signs)
So, Amtchat,
here we are
second program.
What's your take-away?
What did you learn about caves?
What's your elevator speech?
- Elevator speech.
Alright, this is beautiful
and I would have hated to have missed out on all of this.
We live in a such a beautiful, amazing world.
And our country is so beautiful and grand.
And grandiose.
Get out and explore it.
Don't be afraid.
Actually try something new.
There are resources all across the web
that can help you find one.
In fact, discovertheforest.org is even one.
You can punch in your zip code
and find fun things to go to
and go hang out and explore.
And had I not taken that first step into the cave
I would have missed out on all of this
and all the fun and the learning
and so, I recommend it.
If it's a cave, great, go ahead explore it.
If it's a waterfall, go explore it.
Take somebody with you
because I've made some great friends along the way,
and had a ton of fun.
So, elevator speech, it's all about the people and fun.
Thank you, Johanna. - Thank you as well (chuckles)
- I appreciate you asking that question.
- Barb, Lima.
- Thank you.
- Thank you for being our on camera experts.
And to all of our scientists online,
thanks for answering those questions.
We didn't get to get to every--
I know we didn't get to get to every single one
because I still have a bunch in my hand.
But we'll keep answering them.
So, thank you to all you students out there
that are sending them.
Thank you to Rippon Middle School for coming.
(cheers and applause)
- Yeah!
- And a very very very special thanks
to the Luray Caverns staff.
They have done, I mean, this amazing work
helping us to get all this stuff set up
so we could bring this program to you.
And thank you to all of you at home for viewing.
We hope that you've enjoyed it.
And we'll see you again online every time you watch.
Just smile and we'll feel it, alright?
(laughing)
Thanks for viewing.
Good-bye, everybody.
- Bye
(laughing)
