 Julie, Matt, and Megan climbed a narrow toehold along the edge of the cave wall and walked to the ceiling to, first, explore the walls, and second, scare Matt's dad as he entered this section (they hiding with their lights out) |
 Stalactites (from the ceiling) and stalagmites (from the floor) meet in a corner of the cave |
 Megan sits astride a stalagmite who's features we need not elaborate |
 Matt "rides" the beast, a rock formation that eerily has faintly glowing eyes and mouth after shining your flashlight on it. |
 Megan, Julie, and Betty explore the cave under the glare of their flashlights. When the lights are extinguished, the cave's darkness soon disorients its visitors. |
 The light at the end of the tunnel, or in this case, at the beginning of the cave |
 Betty crawls out of the cave. This was no cave for the faint of heart, who waited at the entrance for the explorers to return. (Is that Cherie sitting on a rock at the mouth of the cave?) |
 The "push-me, pull-you" gang debate directions on the trail |
 Bill pauses to take a photo of Betty with the Huachucas as a backdrop |
 Betty, Nancy, and Gary on the trail leading back from the cave |
 A desert "wash" along the trail to the Coronado cave. |
 Julie and Matt relax on the hood of Matt's truck, taking in the breeze and the view into the desert valleys and mountains of Mexico |
