Picking up Matt Part 5




Sorry for the blog over load but it just occurred to me yesterday that I should have been blogging everyday. Haha I am now playing catch up.

This entry has lots of pic that won't really have description but I really enjoyed this cave.

We were in the town of Noel.
I really like this stone house I think that the owners also own the caves but I am not 100% sure.

This part of the cave was designated a bomb shelter for the town. At that time they didn't realize that the water flowing through the cave would be contaminated if a nuclear bomb went off.


Above Matt's head are calcium deposits from the dripping water.


On the left of me is a balanced rock that you can rock with 1 finger.

The formations were so cool.

In the cave.

Aren't the calcium build ups so cool?


Mini Family pic.

Prickly pear cactious with fruit on the end.


Monkey tail Cactus it was so cool.


This is a petrified birds nest with 3 eggs in it apparently there are only 2 known of in the world one their museum and one in the Smithsonian.
From there we drove to Joplin where we stayed the night, that is the end of Friday.
