Cliff Lakes and Geocaching

Friday night us and the Price's went to Cliff Lakes to go camping. Tim is an engineering student like Scott and also was his companion on the mission. Jackie, his wife, is a dance major.
Our hike on Saturday was to a geocache titled "The hills are alive". We didn't really think about the name much, but after a million hills, we knew it's meaning. This is the first hill.
We followed a lot of animal trails, and on the flat spots, there were farm roads.
There were beautiful meadows at parts with these cool flowers.
We finally got to the geocache and we all collapsed where it was, ate some lunch, and took naps.This photo is when we were on our way down. It was so pretty.
We rolled under a couple of barbed wire fences.
We got to a point where we thought we were going to be right on the lake after we crested a hill. These are the pictures of what we found. We hiked along this cliff/range that definitely had a bear living on. We later discovered that it was most likely a grizzly bear. Yikes!
 



There were several hills that had thousands of trees that were laying down. We had to crawl up, down, and around these trees. That took forever.
One of the exciting things was when we were right by the lake, Scott found a moose antler!
We ended our night at Big Springs in Island Park, just to see the big fish. But we got a surprise when we also got the beautiful sunset.
