OUTSIDE CASCADE CAVE
There were a variety of cool things that could be found outside the caves, like this American Toad - the only one seen on the trip.

A well-camouflaged spider.

Redbud wasn't yet blooming in northern Ohio, so it was nice to see it wherever we went.

Slimy Salamander.

One of two Black Racers that were caught.

I gave a short presentation on Black Racers, since we don't see them very often where we live.

Dan hanging out with a Black Racer.

Millipedes were frequently encountered.

Mountain Chorus Frog.

Rock wall.

Zebra Swallowtail.

Several Ravine Salamanders were found during the trip.
