More of our Hollow

More of what surrounds the Wicked.

That Cohune Nut Tree is huge and has amazing palms. The Scorpions love to live in them amongst the dead stuff, so the guys cleaned up the trunk area for us.

Our amazing driveway! Thanks to Tom the 7 Miles guys and Charles of course!

What surrounds the Wicked.

Im going to shoot more today as looking at these just does not our fairyland justice.

Chuck has put in a septic system, water lines, a rock platform for the Wicked to sit on, a Mayan type rock-dirt wall at the back of the palapa, a rock sidewalk to get Whoopi and I off the mud, gravel in the drive way (that he and Tom chopped by hand). Tom surprised me with a load of small gravel in Tinkerbell and we used it as flooring under the palapa so Bela is not as muddy as she would have been.

Our 7 Mile guys leveled the floor in the palapa and cleared all the itchy stuff and poisonous stuff
away and now with the rainy season, it is all green and lush again, more so than in April after the dry season, it is a little green paradise.

Moonracer Farms area for us

These are pics from April 09. It is such a wonderful spot to have Bela and Whoopi be safe and be able to have Bela be a jungle dog.

Thats Tom in April showing me the clearing at the edge of their property. It was a Jaguar rescue facility and most of the huge cages had been removed by the BZ Zoo. before they moved in. There are still 3, back in what I call the 'Hollow', and we had to close the one that Bela goes and plays in due to her finding way to many critters in the heavy brush still within the cages.

Actun Tunichi Muknal...unbelievable!

The mouth of the cave, after about a 45 minute walk through a great part of jungle. Aaron explained a lot of the folage and things we came across.

We crossed three parts and of course I was the first to go down in the water. Not vey deep but slippery.

This skull is the first of several you will see. The cave has been very respected and it is amazing that it is still so intact and not 'set up' as a few tourist caves have been.

The 'Crystal Lady' gives you such an amazing look into a 2000 year past. The stories Aaron tells will make you dream or have nightmares all night, depending on your state of mind.

Her guard, outside the ladies area, the hole is from a small cave piece falling onto it.

One of my point n shoots

The calcification is tremendous, but hey after 2000 yrs what do you expect.

Hello again!

ATM cave was an unbelievable day! Aaron from Maya Walk Tours made it even better and it was by far the coolest thing Chuck and I have done yet! Richard got a chance to do it his first trip, now we gotta get Maggie there.

Sometimes I just pointed the camera and hoped for the best, and be danged if I did not get lucky once in a while.

These may not be in the best sequence, but will give you an idea of what we saw, felt and stood in awe of.
