Yorktown Cave Photo

Three years ago when walking around Yorktown for the first time, I was convinced I'd found the Entrance to Wonderland. Last month during my birthday vacation to Virginia, we discovered Cornwallis' Cave on another wonderful walk. Don't let the gorgeously green ivy fool you about how cold it was - we got smacked with snow on the way back to the hotel in Williamsburg.

    Ah, seeing the green leaves (gorgeous) in your post is so refreshing. The white snow, slush and gray/brown days are becoming old hat. Can't wait for spring.

    I wonder if there are any animals that take refuge in the cave?
