Took a walk today to find some caves that are near town. This is "bolshoy palata", or "big tent". It isn't a cave in the strictest sense, but its pretty neat still. There is a great view of the city from here and lets you imagine the primitive days and how this would be a great place to be. 
The hike up followed a creek that was frozen. It offered some good views and even better falls!!
This is one of my new friends. I see him around the office a lot. He is very vocal- loves barking and talking...and chasing off cows!
