I spent about an hour in the ice cave with my friend and my dog.  At the back of the cave is a waterfall with a skylight that remain among the most surreal experiences of my life.  As I was leaving I saw the sky softening and the pink hues on lips of the clouds.  I made it about as far as the trees before turning back toward the cave. I had that feeling that this was going to be special.  So, I waited and counted, with trepidation, the cave kisses dropping on me and my camera.

Note**  On December 27th, a day after I was here, an avalanche occurred in this cave.
