Well, it’s been two months since my last post. Most of the
time was spent visiting family before we started heading south for the winter the end of September. To
protect the innocent, I don’t give details of family here so I’ll get down to
the Meandering in my RV update.
Our next stop of interest was at
Oregon Caves National Monument in the southwest corner of Oregon. This National Park Service location is in the Cascade
Mountains and protects a cave and historic chateau. The drive to the cave is a
slow, twisting climb of about 3,000 feet to 4,000 feet. The visitor center is in
one of a few buildings built in the 1930's. The other historic buildings were closed to bring them
up to current safety code so we didn’t get to tour the Chateau. The cave tour
lasted about 1.5 hours and was very informative. We’ve been in a lot of caves and,
on a relative scale, this one wasn’t very interesting as it was pretty bland
with no unique formations. If you’re new to spelunking you would find it
more interesting as the tour is educational.
