Day trip!!! Seven falls and Cave of the Winds

Well, it's been almost two months and we still haven't done a whole lot of "touristy" things yet. We decided take a quick trip down to Colorado Springs, CO to visit Cave of the Winds and Seven Falls.  It's about a two hour trip straight south through denver past Mile High stadium, or "Invesco field at mile high" I guess, stupid donkeys. Anyway it was a beautiful sunny and 60 out in "the springs" and it was really neat to see how the terrain changed as we drove. It's incredible that your can drive and hour in any direction and everything is completely different than what you're used to seeing.

   We did see a few bats inside the cave..but none here thank goodness.


 Too cool to care.

 These last two are from seven falls, the others are at cave of the winds 
 See how the stairs keep going..and going...and going...





Seven Falls


 The people that took this were a couple that where on vacation...guess where from...?? Kansas City!!




 This was really incredible, you could hear and see the water rushing under the ice.

 224 and felt like they were straight up.  Bryan jogged up...some of the way.

Cave of the Winds

 I can't give you the name of all these, but I'll do my best. Strike one,I have no idea.
Japanese village.
  Strike two! You used to be able to break a piece off for a souvenir, but then they figured out rock doesn't grow very fast, who would have thought??
