We have no internet in the campgrounds. No hook ups, no electricity, no cable TV. They are national park campgrounds, so they are half price with the senior card. $8 a night. We use the generator to charge up the batteries. I is in the high 70’s instead of the 90’s in the low land. I have to drive out to post the blog for all of my avid blog followers . All you people who just can’t wait for the latest update on our life. Ha!! We are in a beautiful national park and the campgrounds are half empty.
It is the longest day of the year. We started by going to Linville Caverns, a natural limestone cavern. Cathedral like arches, columns and deep passageways, blind trout, vivid mineral colored stalactites and mites-That would be stalactiaaaaaates- southern accent and stalacmiaaaaates, a bottomless pool and we even got to experience total darkness. Moderate sized cavern, 30 minute tour. It was fun.
Linville Caverns, a view up to the ceiling at cave bacon and the blue thing (lit up by the guides flashlight) in the middle is a stone pigs ear.
Children recoiling from the gross green stalactiaaaaate, the green color is from copper, more cave bacon- if you look at it from the side those strips are striped like bacon.
More brilliantly colored stalactiaaaates, the blind trout.
After the caverns we returned to the campsite and I sat in my lawn chair and worked on the latest basket. When it got hot I went to this river and refreshed myself. This photo is taken as I am laying down in the water.
pin cushion flower, forget me not's, wild red monarda. I grow monardas in my garden in Denver. A second kind of weird monarda, black damsel fly, and a flowering white bush.
