Made it just in time to take the self-guided tour of the natural entrance and big room this afternoon. We met our ranger friend, Helen at, 1:50 p.m. and started hiking at 2:00 p.m. (the deadline for starting the tour). The girls had been couped up all day in the car doing homework, so our stroll turned into a hike. We were told it would take 2 1/2 hours to complete the tour . . . it took us 1 hour and 15 minutes! A record, according to Helen! We enjoyed our hike and read All the interpretive signs - all while getting a little exercise. In the late afternoon we watched 100's of thousands of bats fly out of the cave for their nightly forage. An unbelievable sight.
Tomorrow we head to Guadalupe Mountains to hike and explore.
