Graham Cave State Park

It was a way hot day to go hiking, and he started off by the river, which in Missouri, means lots of mosquitoes. You could see this little cloud following the dogs and I just kept hoping that the dogs weren't attracting them to me. I like this photo because is seems like William and Cella and surveying the terrain together. Does Marbre look scared? It might be obvious by the tail between her legs. She was and did not want to sit next to me on this ledge. I would love to know what kind of conditions this tree was growing in to turn out like this. This looks like I am being mean, but I swear I am not. Cella jumped off this ledge with no problems, and it wasn't too terribly high. Funny thing is once I got Marbre pulled off and to the bottom, she looks around all happy like "that was easy, no big deal". Mom came with us on the hike. She ended up with way more ticks than William or I did, not to sure she was too happy about that. We climbed down into this little cave, and William climbed to the middle of a fallen tree to get some good pictures...but they all turned out blurry :( Can you see the ferns? This was part of fern ridge. This is Graham's cave. We couldn't go inside because it was filled to the ceiling with rocks as a sort of preservation technique against bugs that were ruining the artifacts. Cella needed a boost so she could see over the railing, at least William thought so.
