First I've heard of the one in Coralville- I sure hope that happens! Thanks for the news.

I embrace winter. Will be camping out this weekend (2-6/7) by Big Springs Trout Hatchery. We have a couple of caves we're pushing and checking out other leads.
I get a kick out of people complaigning about Iowa winters. I tell them that I pray for snow.

Yes, forgive me, but some people seem to just take up space and offer nothing to their communities and enviroment. They are just plain ignorant, you are right. People won't understand or miss what we have (left) until it's gone for good. We are really really good at killing stuff though.

Totally aggree with you SW, people look at me crazy cuz I get so excited when we are forcasted to get alot of snow. Snow means snowmobiling, sledding, and drift busting! How is that not fun?!
Big Springs on the Turkey, eh? Nice. We camp right across from there in Frieden Park a few times a summer. Careful, Clayton County in hillbilly country; I'd start running if you hear banjos!

Looks like the CAVE people are coming out- Constantly Against Virtually Everything.
I love all 4 seasons- it would be boring otherwise. I look forward to snowstorms, they keep things interesting. I can't paddle with frozen streams, but at least I can go skiing this time of year.

CAVE people is a great acronym.
Hannah, what if I'm the one playing the banjo? |

Oh mannn....steve, I didn't know you were in to that!!!
I feel sorry for the canoers then, lol.
Where are the caves up there? Campground end? Hatchery side? or elsewhere?

We have 3 up and over the hill from the hatchery where we'll be camping. There's 2 on the hill behind the Ranger's house. There's sink holes and caves all over the place.
