My hiking group took to the road, driving out to Burnet, Texas for a tour of the Longhorn Cavern State Park. Fun tour, beautiful caverns.

Lovely photos, we have lost so many bats up here in the upper midwest due to ‘White Nose’ disease. I miss seeing them after sunset.
Yes, the White Nose syndrome is devastating. Our Longhorn Cavern guide said these bats are not as susceptible to it because they are solitary.
