What
We are gonna hike in this really cool spot with a hill next a lake. The top of the hill has a cave system. And there's a nice well we're gonna jump in!
The hike's easy and there's a ton of shelter in the cave where we will cook, eat and chill!
Then we will spend some time near the lake in the well!
