This past Monday, Brian and I spent time at Tony Grove.
As the next day was Pioneer Day, we decided to take a leisurely hike to Polygamy Cave. Though, this wasn't our first time to the cave, we still managed to get lost. We wandered along what we thought was the main trail, and many, many side trails, enjoying the beautiful flowers and outdoors.
I love hiking. I love the smell of dirt and pine mixed in the dry, hot air, the sound of the wind as it whips past my ears, the constant buzz of insects, the chirps, squawks, and tweets of mountain birds. There was no real hurry to come to the end our journey.
Yet, stumble across a cave we did. I am not quite convinced that this was actually Polygamy Cave-it seemed longer and more narrow than I remembered, though it was still a large cave.
Whether this was Polygamy Cave or some other creatively named cave, it didn't really matter. It served it's purpose, as a destination and place to explore. We crawled to the very back of the cave and sat in the still darkness, letting drops of water fall on us and enjoying the cool air. We didn't leave until goosebumps and hunger drove us out and back home again.

Laura, you should visit immediately.
Kim, I googled Lake Cecret and all I have to say is, "Wow, I want to go there!"
maybe we found an alternate entrance
The pictures I have of polygamy cave looked like we had to climb down into the cave. Unless it wasn't polygamy cave...
