From the trail head, it was a 30 minute hike through the lush bush to this DOC cabin. Our hike took place during a pleasant rainstorm in the late afternoon. One highlight was the impressive arched wooden bridge spanning a deep canyon.
Once at the hut, we settled in for a dinner of Mexican-American bean burritos with all the fixings. "Yum." The hut was full tonight with a friendly group of hunters and another family with three other kids of similar age to Keira, Xiomara, and Maddy. With autumn upon us, darkness arrived at an early hour. The torches (flashlights) were fired up early this evening. Jens was masterful in bringing together this group of precocious individuals through a suspenseful card game of "Murder". The smiles and laughter were contagious to all.
The next morning we left the hut and took the short drive to the nearby glow worm cave. The cave was much larger than I had expected. It had a small stream cutting through it and some glow worm activity was visible even during the daylight hours.
Our family had a great time. Thanks Jens, Xiomara, and Keira for inviting us to join you on this special adventure.
