AR Hiking, day 2

   I didn't think anything could top day 1, but day 2 was awesome and packed with variety and we got an extra hour of hiking in (bringing the 2-day total to 13). The temp was colder (40s in the early morning dropping throughout the day to loe 30s), but surprisingly pleasant.

Alum Cove natural rock bridge:

   There were plenty of rock formations around the loop of this hike that let me test my bouldering skills.

Aki coveting my sammich:

   Glory Hole (terrible name, awesome cave structure with a round hole in the ceiling made by water, which still pours through):

   Red dirt trail up to Hawksbill Crag/Whitaker Point, aka "the most photographed rock in Arkansas"... With very good reason:

   Taylor on the Crag: don't get any closer, Tay, you're making me nervous!

   View of the canyon, opposite the Crag:

   Intermission: all hikers must don headlamps!!!

   Back to Alum Cove for night caving! We went back, in part, to find Aki's missing leash. And while we didn't find that, Brett found a geocache!

   And we found out how cool caves look at night, too:

   Back at the cabin with very sleepy (and hungry) pups. No mistaking that smile: it has been a great day!
