On the Griswold Family vacation a couple years back, on our way to the beach in NC we stopped by Mammoth Cave. Before we took a tour, we were enjoying the visitor center and there was a ranger talking about White Nose…my kids couldnt get close enough to hear, but I said “Hey guys I can tell you about this,” and they listened to me (as did a couple of other people who like us were at the back of the group). They had signs everywhere saying dont touch stuff/wash your hands before entering and after leaving.

I’ve put up bat boxes in three trees in my yard hoping to attract bats. Nothing yet, but perhaps someday (actually nightfall) I’ll begin to hear little squeaks.
