We have been busy

Well we have been staying busy around here. We have gone to the Lave River Cave. It is a one mile long cave that you walk in the dark. You had better have a good flashlight. It is a fairly easy walk with some stairs to get down in it.

Then we went to Newberry Volcanic National Monument. First you drive to Lava Butte where you get a great view of the surrounding area. It was a great view and you can see all the way to Bend and beyond.

Then you go to the visitors center where they have lots of history of the area and the people who lived here. Then it was off to Benham Falls. It is about a half mile walk and worth it. It is part of the Deschutes River and is a real nice water fall but not all that big.

I even took the Kayak and went down the Little Deschutes River and ended up in the Deschutes river to get out. It was about a 7 mile trip and real nice.

I also took a bike ride with some friend here in the park to the Cascade Lake Hwy. It was about 100 mile trip and got to see some nice areas and lakes.

WE did get to catch up with Gloria's cousin Mike Fox and his wife Janet They has us meet them at the American Legion and also come by there place here.

 We also did some things here in the park and have been having a great time. We will be leaving here on Tuesday and heading to the cost and then north.
