    Finally made it to Ha Ha Tonka Park on the 12th, park service has added a couple miles of wooden walkways, very cool.

    Some raw images from my beat up phone:

    Wikipedia's pictures of the castle don't show how big the house is, this angle shows the full height.

    The spring some 150 feet below the castle at the cliff base, 48 million gallons daily flow.

    The stream fed by the spring, flows on both sides of an island some 60-80 feet high, watched an armadillo forage on the leading edge of the island. I had no idea they lived down there, the perfect sanctuary.

    The water tower, it also housed the servants in the three floors below the water tank. I want one of these on my property!

    The caves, natural bridge and massive sinkhole didn't photograph well, either lighting or trees obscured the shots. This is the state's #1 park for good reason, absolutely nothing like it anywhere I've traveled. I need to get back to Yellowstone soon! I've got hiking fever already this year!
