Ice Caves

I'll be honest - I hate winter activities. I am a firm believer in hibernating during Minnesota winters. I typically do my best to stay inside and pray for spring to come sooner than later. But, this past weekend Peter and I were invited to go up to a cabin in Northern Wisconsin to tromp around in ICE CAVES! I have to admit - it was one of the most majestic experiences of my life! I had NO IDEA that there could be something so beautiful in the winter. With time, the rough waves of Lake Superior have created big divots in the land..so that when the lake freezes in the winter, caves are formed that you can explore into. What's inside are wondrous havens of ice formations that will leave you breathless with their beauty. We had such a blast climbing in and out..feeling like arctic explorers! I would recommend that anyone in the mid-west (or farther) make a trip up to Bayfield, WI for a winter wonderland adventure :)
