The Cave

There is a cave near the summit of Enchanted Rock.
And this is the entrance.

It takes about 20 minutes before you come out on the other side.
The only way I know that is because the boys traveled it.
We went down and took a look around and decided against it.

The boys said it was pitch black.
They had two cell phones between them to cast light on their direction.
{Thank goodness for good cell phone coverage.}
There were times they had to crawl through small openings,
and times they had to drop through small openings.
They followed white arrows marked on rocks.
And declined to follow red arrows marked "Dead".

I was just glad they came out on the other side.

At one point Alex said that the wall of the cave near the exit
.....was moving.
It was covered in spiders.

Aunt T and Ranae were sorry they missed that.
.....not.

Then we came down the Enchanted Rock.
Which is much easier than going up.
And we all came down in one piece.
A most excellent hike, if you ask me.
