Hello,
We finally made it into the refreshing
coolness of the cave. It is actually three caves that have been connected by
man. They are all quite loaded with interesting formations. Timpanogos, Hanson’s,
and I forgot the name of the third cave were well worth the hike. We were
fortunate to get in at the last minute. Also we probably could have missed the
appointed time at the top and gone on the next tour. On a weekend that would not have been
possible. We were grateful for the jackets in the 45 degree temperature. For some
reason I was the only one who asked any questions. When I traveled with
son-in-law Andy, he fired away with almost an overwhelming amount of questions.
There was one toilet close to the
entrance of the cave. I had not needed to go on the way up, but was not sure I
could make it down without a stop. Unfortunately the toilet was not in sight
when we reconnected with the downward trail. Our granddaughters remembered
where it was located. With a careful scan of the mountain I also could see the
rock building. It was at least another five or ten minutes up a steep incline
with a switchback. It was only when Nora declared that she also had to go that
I agreed to do it. Leroy and Olivia just rested in the shade and waited for us.
Otherwise the downward trip was a breeze
as gravity did most of the work. In fact it was difficult at some points not to
lose control and just let gravity roll us down. My knees felt it a little but
not much.
There were some beautiful wildflowers
and floating birds of prey to enhance the view. So all in all it was a great
trip. Our church is asking members to send back pictures of trips with flat
Jesus. We left flat Jesus at home. Too much bother. Jesus in our hearts was
much easier to deal with on this hike.
