The Rest of The First Part of The Trip

From Crater Lake we headed off to Oregon Caves National Monument. The road up to the caves is not exactly RV friendly, but Pam handled it like Mario Andretti in slo-mo and no harm came to any of us.
We found a shady spot for the RV and went for the 90 minute tour. I'm kind of a wimp about being under ground. I figure I'll be there soon enough anyway and why take silly chances, but I bucked up and went to ensure there would be a photographic record of the event.



Cave tour over, we braved the road again and made our way to Florence Oregon and another great Oregon State Park (Honeyman). The next morning we hiked at Cape Perpetua (6.4 miles) and made our way to Pam's Aunt and Uncles house for the night.

We were going to stay 2 nights but they have 3 dogs and Athena doesn't play nice with other dogs.

The next day we headed for our last overnight before heading home for our niece's wedding. We chose Fort Stevens State Park at the far northwest tip of Oregon by Astoria. It was another great Oregon State Park and we were lucky to get the last spot left for the night as we were a little late due to a stop in Cannon Beach for the best pizza on the west coast at Pizza Al Fetta.  We had a nice bike ride around the park which is 4700 acres and settled in for the night.

We awoke to a little drizzle but we chased the clouds north all the way home and arrived safely in the sun in time to head to the Taste of Tacoma in the afternoon.

I'll post some stuff on trip part 2 soon as well as the recipes I promised before.....
