5 years ago, April 2020, Ted Tateoka and I went exploring the desert. We were hunting for Chalk Cave in Blaine County, Idaho. We found a couple of caves not far off the old Picabo Desert Road, one of which was Chalk Cave.

You can tell it is early spring because of the matted desert grass.

We wandered our way through Chalk Cave, which isn’t very big. But it was well visited in the past. I snapped this picture. We never recommend you paint, carve, or in any way deface any cave. It is actually a crime, but most people never get busted.

I would have to go back and check to see if I could read what is above the name. This appears to be Its Lavon Larsen 1938, 1/20/37. I believe this is Maud LaVon Larsen, born 25 October 1917 in Twin Falls, Idaho. She shows as living in rural Jerome County in 1935 pursuant to the 1940 Census. She married Louis Francis Bulcher on 31 December 1943 in Twin Falls. She passed away in Twin Falls on 26 November 2013.
