05-27-06: These little guys were all over the ground. At first, it
was kind of cute, until we realized the extent of the invasion. |
|
|
 |

in the trees as well. |

|
 |
|
05-27-06: A sound that initially sounded like large drops of water
falling to the forest floor turned out to be caterpillars, both
dropping randomly from the trees and lowering themselves on silk
threads, which were really disgusting to walk into! |
|
|
 |
|
05-27-06: Here is the type of forest tent that the caterpillars
build. A single tree can have dozens of these tents in it. |

Another caterpillar forest tent in a
tree. |

Club password sign. (No, we're not telling what the password is!) |

05-28-06: A picture of the Sioux Falls State Penitentiary. We only
took this picture because we were looking for a geocache nearby and
didn't want to arouse suspicion. Taking pictures just says, "I'm an
innocent tourist!" |
|

|
05-28-06: Jonas posing nonchalantly outside the penitentiary after
finding the cache. |
