This is a great trip report, I'm really enjoying it.
Well Thank you Ms. Bluez!Originally Posted by Bluez
Seeing the impact this place had on Mr. T made this part of today's journey special.
When we arrived to the Roaring River, the driver dropped us off, like in the middle of what I felt like was nowhere. I was concerned for a few seconds of how we would manage to get a ride out of desolation. We walked into the Roaring River area and the first thing I saw was the largest tree I've ever seen in my life. It was a cottonwood tree.

Good stuff. Thanks for sharing.
Excellent report,please keep it coming!
Whoa, that's a big tree. Wonder how long it's been standing there. Love the pictures of the countryside and cane fields. Great report!
The guides said the tree was 150 years old.
There was an Alter in the cave where people had left flowers, fruit and candles.
I saw plants growing in the cave. The fruit bats feces is the source of the plants. I am a big animal lover but have never been a fan of Bats. I heard so many of them it was kind of freaking me out. My DH and I had visited a cave in TN and he got claustrophobic so I was really surprised when I saw him almost crawling through some of the tunnels in this one. Mr. T had to call him out of the tunnels a few times. I guess this trip cured him of cave phobia.
