Three Rivers

We shelled out $6.13/gal to top off our fuel tank in Fernley, NV... OUCH, then had a beautiful drive to Eagles Nest RV Park in Tionesta, CA.

Wednesday 6/8 we toured Lava Caves National Monument where we hiked into the Sentinel Cave then the Big Painted Cave. Even though the caves were rated easy it was a bit of a scramble to the entrances but no stooping or crawling. We each had a headlamp and flashlight but it was still unnerving to imagine them going out, leaving us in total darkness. It was sad to see the devastation from the 2020 Caldwell and 2021 Antelope fires which burned the majority of the park.

After our caving adventure we took a short hike at Captain Jack's Stronghold, site of the Modoc War. https://sierranevadageotourism.org/entries/capt…
We'd hope to visit Tulelake National Monument and the visitors center, but they were closed. https://www.nps.gov/tule/index.htm
We did enjoy an early dinner at Senor Tequila in downtown Tulelake.
I'd hoped to do some stargazing at Eagles Nest but, alas, the skies weren't cooperating.
We arrived at Bend/Sunriver Campground on Thursday 6/9 for a week stay.
Friday we headed to LaPine to play pickleball at Finley Butte Park. Dreena and Mike, friends from Fiesta Grande, reserved a court for us. The La Pine PB club has done an impressive job getting their courts developed, with adjacent seating, picnic area and dog park. https://lapinepickleball.com/
We were treated to some good, old Oregon rain Saturday & Sunday.
Monday we had our friends Jim, Joy and Jessica over for brunch before taking a long bike ride through Sunriver. It sure has grown since I vacationed with my family in the early '70s.

Tuesday we had our rear AC replaced. Thank goodness it bit the dust when we were, for the most part, out of the sweltering heat. Nate from Fixin Trips Mobile RV Repair did a great job. https://www.fixintrips.com
Today we met Joy and Jim at Sunriver for pickleball.
Tomorrow we return to our home base in Boring, Oregon.Read more
