Bat Loco - Tuesdays

Each Tuesday they block off a road downtown by the riverwalk where hwy 35 goes over top.  Bats live under the Freeway in the cracks.  There are about 50 to 60 thousand of them supposedly.  They are supposed to all come out at once when it gets dark... they feed all night long and then come back the next morning.  They have an educational session, telling you all about it.  A few of us went out to eat and then sat around waiting to see them come out.   We saw about 500 or so and then got bored when it got dark and figured if the rest were coming, we wouldn't see them any way.

Black dots around the tree above bridge - hard to see
