Post a CommentI get claustrophobic so I couldn't go in the caves, but I'd wait outside and watch.
We went to Howe Caverns one time. It was my first bat sighting. Now, I marvel at them as they cruise the summer skies (and eat the mosquitoes!) Thank God for the bats, cheers :)
so good to hear about this
excellent article!
They are fun to explore :)
Very cool!
awesome writing:)
You are an awesome resource for good, clean family fun my friend. So cool, indeed.
All of your events are too far away, but I still like to read what is going on in other areas.
I find bats fascinating!
