CAMPING IN BEAR LAKE

We had a cold but fun weekend with our friends up in Bear Lake. We stayed in a KOA in a little but warm cabin while our friends have the greatest trailers and it opened my eyes to a whole new world of camping. It brings all modern conveniences of home to the outdoors and it's perfect when you have little ones. Yes I have done a full 180 on my opinion of campers. I used to think of people who owned them as "trailer trash" and now that I realize a good one cost around $50,000 that it's not so much the trailer trash that own them and I want one in the worst way. But back to the trip- we had so much fun hanging out around the camp fire playing games and roasting marshmallows. We shopped at the only store in town the L2 which had everything from pillows to fishing eggs. The Lake there is absolutely breath taking and is called the Caribbean of the west because of the unique color in the lake. It was a great get away. We did have a Wyatt moment that I just have to share. We toured the Minnetonka Caves that were absolutely amazing. It was this huge cave that had stilagtites that were thousands of years old. The thing about stilagtites is that they are alive and if they are touched by humans with there oil and bacteria they stop growing. So at the very end of the tour we hit the bride and groom room where two stilagtites were growing towards one another for the last thousand years and would meet in another 1000 years. There were ropes to protect this valuable site but that didn't stop Wyatt. When no one was looking he took off his shoe and threw it at the stilagtite. You should have seen the look on our guides face, might I add that this was her first tour ever through the caves with a group and she looked like she was going to die. After a quick panic attack she grabbed a stick and retreived the shoe and turned us around back out of the cave. Wyatt left his mark and continues to do so where ever we go.
