IIRC, it was always somewhere around 68 degrees. I think I have some pics around here. These were cool caves, cut out by water. We used to strap flashlights around the dogs necks so they would not fall into cracks. Sometimes it was pretty scarey in there. We went in one day and saw a pile of a few tons of rock sitting right where we had lunch the day before... |
