Lava River Cave

Here is Rebekah, friend Carly and grandson Micah getting ready to explore the Lave River Cave. A lava tube formed from Newberry volcano - interesting lava tube that went 5000 ft under ground. At one point there was a marker indicating we were under the highway above. About 40 degrees inside and dark - good thing we all bundled up and even then the kids were asking for hot chocolate and remarking how cold their hands were from carrying their flashlights. A great experience. We had not noticed this place before but passed it a few times and decided what the heck - needed to go check it out. Once we hit sunlight again we couldn't get the extra clothes off fast enough. Turned out to be a very warm day. Fun fun fun
