In case you are not sure either, you can read the definition of a karst here.
My friend, Rebecca, whom I have been able to spend a lovely amount of time with this week, has a friend who is working for the conservation areas here and offered to give us a tour of a new conservation area.
It was bitterly cold, so cold that Rebecca was joking that she may return to her desert with frostbitten toes, but we persevered and had an interesting time. We learned about the overall karst, sinkholes, sinks, dolomite rock, caves and since we had a fresh snowfall overnight, we saw quite a few fascinating animal tracks (rabbit, squirrel, vole, mouse, wild turkey and coyote)!
After our outdoor excursion, we quickly headed for the restaurant with the fireplace for lunch and thawing out!
Blessings!
Eramosa Karst Conservation area!!!
