Caves and Night Sky
















On our bike trip around the loop there was a stop where you can walk out and explore some ice caves. We went on the walk to see the countryside but no way was I going into a cave. But the Ranger talked us into it. The Indian tunnel cave has high ceilings and is broken in spots so there is enough natural light to get through without a flashlight. You do have to climb out of this tiny hole (as you can see Kit in the photo) at the end.

While we are at Craters there was a full moon--awesome against the dark sky. Our last night we went to an astronomy program and got to looked through a telescope at the moons of Jupiter (before the moonrise). Jupiter was a powerful presence in the night sky.
