Adam led the trip which included Sarah, her friend Lars, her daughter Sequoya, Becky, Phil, Alex, and the Three Ts. They enjoyed exploring the cave, but admitted that the "awful earful" duck-unders and water-filled passages were challenging!!!

Sullivan and Caren finished welding the gate in place completely. (We tried not to smoke out the cave too badly.)

There were several bats in the cave, which means our gate is bat friendly. Hopefully as they get more accustomed to the gate, more will want to make the cave their home. I would if I was a bat!!:)

PS. Don't park in the area left of the "Slow Children at Play" sign if there is a high chance of rain. Don't ask us how we learned that bit of information!!
