7/13/08 - Cave Junction, Oregon




We drove north back through the Redwoods National and State Parks and walked through another redwood grove. When you walk through these groves of giant trees you experience another world of silence and timelessness. We continued on into Oregon to the Oregon Caves National Monument where we went on a guided tour of the cave. As caves go, this one was only so-so, and is small and claustrophobic to boot. We have better caves in Texas, like Carlsbad Cavern, Natural Bridge Cavern, Longhorn Cavern, Cave With No Name, and Caverns of Sonora. We checked into the Mountain Man RV Park in Cave Junction and had a pizza and beer sampler at the local brewpub, Wild River Brewing and Pizza Company. The town of Cave River, population 1,685, has as many brewpubs as Houston, and their beers have won 4 medals at the Great American Beer Festival.
