Bat cavern

Down in the caldera behind the cone we arrived by truck to achieve our first objective. This was to negotiate a fair price for bat guano which ends up being really great for gardens. We settled at $1 per kilo. Way to high but still usable, we'll have to find an unsupervised cave. This one had a few teenage boys near the base just hanging out near a store. They had no idea what the hell we wanted bat guano for but since we showed up with shovels and buckets and asked to buy some (out of respect), they decided it had value. Go figure.

The Green school gardener stood back in the green shirt waiting to get to work.

Bat caves are amazing. Vibrating and chaotic. This one was filled with whirring fruit bats, all huddled together
