Colossal Cave Experience

We drove to Colossal Cave around 10:00 this morning, along with Audrey, Lauren and Taylor.  When we left home, the temperature was near 40 and there were clouds, but the sky was clearing to our south and west.  As we drove east, just a few miles, the sky was darker and the clouds lower.  We turned south and it started snowing.  By the time we arrived at Colossal Cave, there was close to 3-4” of snow on the trees and covering everything.  It was an incredibly beautiful sight!
                               We toured Colossal Cave, and at 71 degrees, it felt terrific!
Our drive home was surreal.  We drove north from Colossal Cave toward the Santa Catalina Mountains.  There was a visible line on the mountain, with snow on one side of the line and no snow on the other side of the line and the sun was shining.  We arrived home, with absolutely no snow.  Driving to and from Colossal Cave today was an unusual experience!
