We had a great outing to Ole's and Beaver caves. We walked straight to Ole's entrance from the road, straight to Beaver Cave from Ole's upper exit, but we did have a little trouble getting back to the car...

Ole's third entrance. I ran out of disks for the digital camera, so this was the last of my pictures for the day. We had a great time in Beaver Cave, too, but we didn't have time to get to the end of it. Maybe next time.
