Description:	Kids may not get too excited about the world's largest dog-tooth spar and crystal ceilings, but they'll love the stairway down into the cave. Older folks may find it a bit too strenuous.     We counted 165 steps down to the main level. The climb back out was the same 165 steps. Oh, and not to be killjoys, but the world's largest dog's tooth crystal is about a foot tall.      Info: 605-342-2777. Mail:  13745 S.
