Kartchner Caverns? Mel loves and works in the caves of New Zealand. Arizona's premier caverns are a short drive from Sierra Vista. Mel called our Kartchner Caverns to see if they had any tickets. They had a hundred left for the day. We drove up to the caverns to take a tour. They had one ticket left. Mel went on the cave tour. The rest of us went for a hot, dusty 2-1/2 mile hike in the mountains. Shelley, still exhausted from the Bisbee stainclimb, will never forgive me. Cherie's still got blisters. |
Mel's View Photo from the Friends of Kartchner Caverns web site Mel saw some awesome cave formations underground. She came out fresh as a daisy. |
Our View Jessie looks around and says "hey, what's this? I thought we were going to go underground! It's hot and yucky out here." Garrett smiles slyly and says "at least I know enough to wear my sunglasses." |
The views from on top of the cavern are beautifully mountainous. Patty, Tom, Garrett, and Shelley on the Bataan Death March |
All looks well that night as I fulfill the earlier promise to massage the ladies' aching legs... | |
...but Shelley is still ready to strangle me for taking her on another dang mountain walk! |
