Water Cave - Our Hotel

                                                                                                                                           

After the tour we made our way to Water Cave where we would spend the night. From there we all got Alabaster T-Shirts, did a trail, got a snake talk, and then moved into the cave for the night.

Mr. D pointed out the various plants around us... yucca, smooth suimac, and thistle. Know where your trail is with markers so you don't get lost at night going to the bathroom!! But stay on the trail because there are cactus out there all over the place!

There are pallets on the rocks for semi-level sleeping areas. Will sleep 15 the advertisments say... hummm... we'll see! There is a running stream that comes out of the rock which makes the creek in the main cave... it runs all the time! We saw a really cool bike... 1/2 motorcycle, 1/2 VW Bug.
