We finally met up with the fam and we were all heading to Bear Lake until Papa got the FLU :(!!! We were hopeful that maybe they could join us later but no. Papa didn't really get off his death bed until day 3...the day we were headed back to Eagle Mountain. Oh well, we had fun!
While at Bear Lake we visited the Minnetonka Caves...Here are some fun facts about the caves...
Minnetonka Cave is the largest commercially developed limestone rock cave in the state of Idaho, and one of the highest, with an entrance elevation of 7,700 feet.
The developed part of the cave contains nine separate "rooms" or chambers. The largest of these chambers is called the Ballroom, measuring more than 300 feet across and 90 feet high.
Some of the cave's most interesting features are the deposits of lime which form stalactites and stalagmites. Many of these interesting formations have been given names, such as the "Ballerina," and the "Bride and Groom." The oldest (and largest) of these are the "Three Sisters." Other intriguing formations are known by some as the "Wedding Ring", the "Gold Coins" in the Treasure Room chamber, "Miss Piggy's Tail" and "Kermit's Castle."
Here we are at the Lake, it was so beautiful. A little cold but kids don't care...thank goodness.
