Mud Caves

We took a day trip to the Mud Caves. This is an experience everyone needs to have. Ideally you would do a trip like this without kids and camp over night. That way you can hike through the caves at night when it is spookier and cooler (temp-wise). Alas, we toted the kiddos along with us. What kid doesn't love a hot, dirt-filled wasteland, with long dark tunnels? Our kids had a blast with the dirt, but they could have done without the heat and pitch black caves. The drive to the dessert was long, but it is always fun to drive through a place you have never been before. This trip ranks well above our trip to the Salton sea!!!
