Hiking and Snow on the 4th

As my alarm clock went off at 6:30 I had to think, do I really want to do this? But then I decided this is what it was all about, going off on adventures, even if they are early in the morning. Luckily I woke up enough to drive to my friend's house and off we went to the Darby Wind Caves in Targhee National Forest in Wyoming. It took us about an hour to get there, but once we got there it was amazing. It was nice mountain fresh air with the sound of a rushing river in the background. I could have sworn I saw Sasquatch, or maybe it was just Pocahontas running through the color of the winds. The weather was perfect for our hike because it was slightly overcast but still nice and warm. We decided it was probably around 6 miles round trip. Unfortunately we weren't able to go into the actual wind cave because there was too much snow and water! Kristie said that the two other times she had been there, there had never been so much water. We ate lunch underneath the mouth of the cave where a waterfall was coming out. There were lots of watery waterfalls (I didn't want to use pretty because that's so over done when talking about waterfalls!). So the movie is of me bottom sledding (for lack of a better phrase) down a hill. The best part was the sign that said "Please do not cut switchbacks" which we technically did but technically didn't because it was all snow. So I saw snow on the 4th of July. Happy America Day!
