Peppersauce cave is a limestone cave in Southern Arizona that has seen way too many people that were unfriendly toward it. Most of its formations have been destroyed, but there is still some beauty to see in it. Here is a sample of some short, but nice soda straw stalactites that I found in the cave when I took my children to learn about caves and cave vandalism. Note that most of them have water drops on their tips indicating that they are active and still growing.
