wayne: It is warm here, and very humid. The caves are in the seventies, but also humid.

This is the tropics. Lots of vegetation. Lots of bugs in the caves, though I haven’t seen many myself this trip. We use a lot of Deet to prevent bad bug bites.

The caves are big and well decorated, with some incredibly large rooms. In fact, we have been surveying the biggest room of this one cave now for four straight days, and might finally have finished it today. Each day we had 3 or 4 survey teams working. I myself worked up the center of the room, and never saw a wall.

What’s the temperature inside these caves? Are there differences between caves in tropical area’s vs. like’ north America? (My cave experience is confined to Mammoth Cave.)

tangentially– I’m seeing 90 degree air-temperatures in Belize.

>>Anyone beside me, getting baked with oppressive heat? Topped out at 94 degrees in West Michigan today.
