Who stole the sun? Woke up to an overcast morning, and it stayed that way for the rest of the day.
After breakfast we headed out to the craft mall Lyn discovered yesterday. I came armed with with my tablet in case I had a long wait; luckily there was a Best Buy electronics store in the same mall. The timing worked out great, I got back just before Lyn came out of the store. Guess who spent the most money?
On the way home I decided to go a slightly different route than what the GPS suggested, as I wanted to find out if we could get straight onto the I-10 when we leave tomorrow. Let’s just say that due to the road layouts in San Antonio (there seem to be more Interstates than “normal” roads) we saw more of the area than we had planned, but there is an easier way onto the I-10.
After an early lunch we headed out to the Natural Bridge Caverns, about 25 mile North East of here. The caverns are fairly new, only having opened in 1964. They were different to many of the caverns we have been to before in that they were very open, the formations were not roped off or behind glass, they were right where you were walking. The formations may have been close, but there were severe penalties for touching them.
Below are a few pictures we took, unfortunately the camera got left in the trailer so we only had a cell phone to take pictures with.
At the deepest point we were over 200 feet below the surface, the caverns were at a constant 70°F and 99% humidity. We got quite a workout climbing back up to the surface.
Back at the campsite we started packing up a lot of the outside stuff in preparation for tomorrow as the forecast is still predicting some heavy rain to start overnight. The forecast did have a Winter Storm watch in effect for part of the trip tomorrow. The good news is the watch has been cancelled, the bad news is it is now a winter storm warning. Hopefully we will arrive at out hotel at about the same time as the storm. They are expecting up to 3″ of snow! Welcome to Texas.
