So after all the travels to distant states, we decided to spend the weekend in Eureka Springs Arkansas!
We walked the streets from end to end and found several springs.
After leaving Eureka, we drove the long way home by way of Highways 7 and 23. We have passed Mystic Caverns a million times on our drives and finally I said "STOP" ! We took the tours of the two caves and found them really interesting.
We have seen this type of "life" on Discovery channel before on the bottom of the ocean floor several miles deep. This is the fossilized form of something they had said was extinct! They live only on the bottom of the ocean near the boiling hot water vents . Funny how they are found in Arkansas in a cave!!! These were on the ceiling in one of the caves.
This white stuff is called "snow". It is soft like snow and is found in very few caves across America.
On the way home we had to stop and see how much damage the ice storms had caused on the natural bridge trail in northern Arkansas. They are working on the area, but it's still rough and actually closed. ( we usually ignore the signs and precede carefully)
That's me in the glowing light!
We will probably take Tammy and Dennis to this site later in the fall when we go back to Pedestal Rock trails.
