After we settled in at the hotel, we decided to head down to Manitou Springs and visit the Cave of the Winds. It's a typical water eroded limestone cave. After they warned us that there is a $2500 fine for touching anything in the cave other than the railing due to some stupid natural resources law, I noticed how much of the cave was chiseled out and had concrete floors. All in all, it was a good tour, but the downside was that the guide literally runs to the next spot and doesn't let you stay at any one point long enought to take decent pictures.

Jealous. We tried to see this, but it closed soon and so we only made it as far as the gift shop . . . we could only looking piningly at the entrance . . . .
it was nice down there, but the view up the road I really enjoyed, I imagine you did as well. It was sure pretty up there! This place was discovered by a 10 and 11 yr. old boy, I thought that was neat~
