Russell Cave NM

                       

How Long is a Long Time Ago?

Russell Cave is an archaeological site with one of the most complete records of prehistoric cultures in the Southeast. Thousands of years ago a portion of Russell Cave's entrance collapsed, creating a shelter that, for more than 10,000 years, was home to prehistoric peoples. Today it provides clues to the daily lifeways of early North American inhabitants dating from 10,000 B.C. to 1650 A.D.

Got to spend an afternoon exploring the cave then had a nice hike with the wife and dogs. This is one of those parks that is less visited but well worth the trip to see.
