We enjoyed a quick bite of lunch before dawning our helmets and making our way into the dark and very slippery under world of the Guler Ice Cave.
Making our way down the steep snow packed stairs, I thought I had an advantage with my boot chains. I soon found that the ice in the cave was so hard and pure that the chains did nothing for traction.
Slowly and cautiously we mad our way down to the 'Crystal Grotto' stopping along the way for photos.
We all took our turn sliding down the ice slide near the end of the cave (a little tricky getting back up though).
Making our way back, and then continuing down the into the other end of the cave. It was just awesome to look at the many ice formations in this cave.
As we came around the corner we could see the light of day ahead. Greg whispered back to the rest of us to be quiet and move slowly... What was it that Greg seen ahead in the cave? Oh no!! Could it be... the legendary "Rabbit of Canerbannog"?
"I warned you, but did you listen? Oh no you didn't, did you..." "Run away, run away, run away..." Oh, sorry about that, I got a little carried away with the Monty Python reference (I couldn't resist)...
We exited the cave behind the *evil* bunny, up and out on the snow that had filled in the skylight in the cave. Do to the features listed on the cave map, I think there might be more cave to explore buried behind the snow that had filled in at this skylight. We'll have to go back sometime later in the spring or early summer and see if I'm correct. Maybe we can find and explore some of the other many caves in the area.
We made our way back to Wendi's place where she has a delicious pot roast and fixings waiting for us in the crock pot. After we unloaded our gear we threw in a terrible, yet entertaining movie from the 60's and enjoyed a laugh or two with dinner. We finished off dinner with desert, a little crème brûlée (yes, I did just spent 20min trying to find spelling for "crème brûlée"). To wrap up the day, we enjoyed a relaxing dip in the hot tub. Recalling the days adventures, and making plans for other potential adventures in the future.
Have fun, stay safe, and never stop exploring!!!
