Our favorite campground so far in Missouri is Onondaga Cave State Park. Along with its main attraction, Onondaga Cave, it also has Cathedral Cave, which at this time of the year was only open on weekends so we weren't able to tour it. We did take a tour of Onondaga Cave, and it was really worth it! I've toured quite a few caves in the past, but this was Check's first time really going into a cave and it really set the bar high. Onondaga is huge and every room had a different look. Some rooms were centuries older than others, some had water, some with new growth of stalactites and stalagmites, and others where growth had stagnated decades ago.

  We really loved the campground at Onondaga too. We were there during the week when it wasn't busy, so we had plenty of room to ourselves and it just had a nice vibe to it. We took a hike and spent an evening with the host, Judy, who with her colorful Casita trailer showed no signs of letting age slow her down. We hope in 20 years that we are as active and happy about camping!

Ken and Tammy - so glad you found us online! It really was great being neighbors and maybe the next time we meet at Prairie Creek we'll have less smoke to contend with. Enjoy your travels!!
Prairie Creek
Dawn & Check - great to meet you guys & be neighbors in the middle of no where!  Too bad about the smoke in the Sawtooths. Our shared campsite on Prairie Creek was a good one, and we ended hiking up Prairie Creek to Minor Lake (with all the Creek crossings) on our last day. Beautiful!

am I done flying?
I am behind reading your log..am I?  Any way, checking the calendar regularly, I guess I forgot the log.  So here I am, June 12 2020, updating my reading and feeling silly.
Onongava caves
Today I had time on my hands (nurturing a nasty cold since one week) so I traveled through the caves.  Impressive!  Thank you Dawn

Just moved around your site a bit and after, reading about your decision to move on, I and babbo too (he is now sculpting bears in Pietrasanta), wish you the best of times traveling, resting, and free.

General Commenting Instructions
I've replaced the Disqus commenting forum with this simplified way to leave comments. It's not as fancy as Disqus so comments won't be specific to each blog entry, but instead will show every comment submitted. The big advantage is that no one will need to sign up for Disqus to be able to comment.
