Camping at the Lava Tubes

Our second trip the Lava Tubes National Monument, about 30 miles south of the Oregon border. As the name implies, lava streams back in the day carved out huge caves which you can walk, crawl, and sometimes barely squeeze through. Great fun.

Looks friendly!

Helmets are our friends.
Those stalactytes are friendly.
We made it!

Off we go, into the wild black yonder...

Now it's Brian's turn.
Interesting landscape.
A wonderful sight after a day in the caves.
