Lehman's Cave

Easter Weekend we went out to good ol' Ely, Nevada. Tyson's sister lives out there while her husband is working in the mine. Ely is bigger than I thought it would be, but still a pretty small run down looking town! About an hour away are Lehman's Cave. It totally wasn't what I was expecting but pretty darn cool.  There were tons of things hanging from the ceiling and some growing from the ground. All of them are made by water. (I didn't really get how they were made but, it takes a LONG time for them to come back) They mostly look like icicles hanging from the ceiling and growing up from the ground. That is how I would explain them! Or you could google it if you really wanted to know what we went and saw!!!

The picture is supposed to be turned... Sorry.

These things are called shields

I don't know why this picture turned but where there is a tiny piece from the big piece (in the middle) is where someone broke it off and now its growing back. (If that makes any sense! Sorry!)

They made a hall way just to the right of that but before that was there this is where they had to come in through. The lighting makes it look pretty cool tho! 

This water is from last spring (2011)

Angel wing

I don't know why this one turned either.

On the way there Tyson saw this and was amazed. So on the way back we got a picture. 

When we got back to Ely, Cobe and Brent made dutch oven and it was so yummy. We played cards and then went to bed! It is always fun to be with family and hang out! Thanks Tanisha for letting us come and visit you!
