Hike at Maquoketa

Hiked at Maquoketa Caves last week with a couple of friends.  We had a grand adventure!  The day started off with snowflakes, white nose syndrome in bats, and a five-lined skink.  After leaving the ranger's office, we hiked through Dance Hall Cave and immersed ourselves in a wonderland of golden leaves.  Here are some photographic highlights:
