Devil's Den State Park

Devil's Den State Park is a State Park near Arkansas. We went there with many other exchange students, it was an "organized trip". "Organized" means ORGANIZED. Of course, that's good - it's really great that they organize these trips for us (and they are for free!) so, guys, THANK YOU!

"Organized", here, means that there are drinks and food available all the time, even when we are in the middle of the bush, and they take a little battery-powered amplifier with speakers with them, so that we can listen to their Announcements and Speeches, well.. ;-)

Devil's Den State Park is a nice spot. Some parts are artificial (künstlich angelegt), though, as you can see on the photo below. (clickto enlarge!)



And on the photo...BELOW





As Americans are into baseball it took me a while to figure out that this is not the shelter for the baseball bats (Schläger) but for the bats, living in the park (Fledermäuse). Maybe the fire hydrant in the middle of the nature confused me..



Mattia from Italy, rescuing the frisbee. The pedal boats looked liked the had been welded (geschweißt) in some Hinterhofwerkstatt, but it was fun to drive (drive? ride?) them.



Later we went caving ("höhlenklettern"), at first in some little caves, later in a bigger one in complete darkness, equipt with flashlights (I tried to use the word "torches" and the stared at me, "torches" are "Fackeln" here, flashlights sind die Taschenlampen..)
