Fox Cave Muffler Man. Looks like they are remodeling the place. We weren't sure if there was anyone there or not. Fun place to stop and take pictures. You can even take a picture of yourself in jail!
[Penny, 04/30/2014]Fox Cave was once used as a hideout for Billy the Kid and roving bands of Apache warriors. Fun for the whole family. Pan for gold and gems, gift shop, and refreshments. Soon to be adding a dinosaur play area.

This classic attraction operated as a commercial cave from 1951 to 1961, then sat closed until it was reopened as a gift shop in 2012. The new owners also brought in a mutant cowboy Muffler Man, and a dinosaur baby hatching from a giant egg, to attract visitors.
