Tuckaleechee Caverns and Horseback Riding

On Wednesday, we started the day with a visit to Tuckaleechee Caverns. The tour lasted about 90 minutes and was really interesting.  Its boasts the largest underground waterfall in the United States and the largest cavern room. It was less commercial then the only other cavern I've been too (Luray), but that added to its charm. At one point, they talked about the water being 99.9% pure and invited us to try it. All of us thought the caverns were amazing.

Thomas was doing a Kara pose ;)

It is hard to convey scale, but these two 'obelisks' are over 20 feet tall!

Trying the pure water (it actually did taste better than most water)

Couldn't quite capture it, but here is the waterfall

After the caverns we had a picnic and then Thomas, Jack, Anna and I went horseback riding. We enjoyed the ride, we did 90 minutes, and most of it was through the mountains, which was pretty, but did not have the big views we have had on our other rides. Luke and Kara didn't want to go and neither did Kolten or Bennett. They went and did the mountain coaster again.

After horseback riding, we stopped for some groceries and went back to the cabin. We had dinner at the cabin and enjoyed another peaceful night in. Kayce, Kara and I went in the hot tub, which was not quite as fun when it wasn't cold. Our first night, it was something like 20 degrees. Wednesday night, it was around 50. I keep looking for bears, but haven't see any yet.
