Back to the Basics

Cave Things

I went to Natural Bridge Caverns.  The cave formations at Natural Bridge Caverns were very similar to the formations I saw in Carlsbad Caverns a couple of years ago.  The theme in both caves? Wet, slimy, and lumpy.

Urban Safari

Just another day waiting to enter the highway.  

I always yield to animals that can crush my car if provoked.
