Sinks and Rise





I have seen a lot of beautiful things in my life and Popo Agie sinks literally took my breath away. When I walked up to the look out, I saw the river coming down but trees were blocking my view of where it went. I didn't even know what I was looking for. "The sinks" didn't sound that exciting, a river disappearing into the ground? Oh well. However, when I rounded that dead-end corner at the look out and saw that magnificent sight, it took my breath away.

Beautiful.

I walked down to the cave and looked out to where the water vanishes. It was beautiful, and a little spooky, being right down where the water disappears. I felt like I, too, might disappear with the water.

I will post pictures and a little video

Popo Agie -pronounced like am-BRO-sia, stress on the second syllable, po-PO-sia. Ready? Replace the "am" with po, the "bro" with po, and the agie is pronounced like the "sia" (anyone have a better way to explain this Crow Indian pronunciation?)
