February 14, 2013    Happy Valentine’s Day!

This morning we took a Ranger guided tour of the “King’s Palace”. This is another large portion of the cave only accessible by tour.  It is a mile loop and takes about an hour and a half.  Amazing views.  You can walk in and out of the caves from the natural entrance or you can walk down and take the elevator up.  We opted for the elevator both ways, both days with a walk to view the natural entrance from the surface with a minimal number of switch backs.  May through summer you can watch bats swarm out of the caves in the evenings.  That would have been interesting.  This time of year some bats have migrated to Mexico and others hibernate.
