Exploring Pettyjohn Cave Tour now links to Google Street views

After loading a new panorama of the entrance room, I thought I would try and link to the parking lot and Google’s street views.

From the cave entrance pan left and click on “Trail to parking and checkin.” Move the pointer below the notice board on the left and click on the arrow “To the parking lot,” that will appear. Aview from the parking lot toward the checkin board will appear.

You are now on Google Street View with all kinds of things to do. As you move the pointer around you will see squares for Zooming or positions. The road name will also appear “Rocky Ln,” along a line parallel to the road. Hold down the left mouse button to pan around and up and down. The parking lot is the area with the large boulders and the cars belong to cavers in the cave at the time the pictures were taken.

Right click will bring up a short menu of options. check out the 3D mode! Click on the square in the upper right for a full screen view. Press “Esc” to return.

Click on the lower right corner for a street map. Click on the upper left corner of the map to enlarge to split screen.

If you want to get out of the frame and explore with google, click on “Explore Cave” this will remove the menu’s. Follow the trail back to the parking lot and this time you will be in a new Explored window. Click on “View Larger Map.”
