Jan 27 Caverns of Sonora

We were up early to get our tickets for the first tour of the Caverns of Sonora.  It was a fantastic 2 hour guided tour, which took us down in to what is recognized as the most beautiful caves in Texas.  The cave is a temperature of 78 degrees with  95% humidity, which makes it feel about 85 degrees.  The tour included 360 stair steps in just under 2 miles of trail.  There were stalactites and stalagmites unlike any we have seen before, made of calcite.  The size of the cavern was, in places, cavernous!

When we were done on the  tour we packed up and headed for Fredricksburg, TX
