Day 62: Lava cave exploration

This morning we did laundry, dropped of some dry cleaning, and bought a replacement window knob and more Happy Bowl Liners for the RV.  We then headed southeast a few miles out of Bend to explore some lava caves.

We decided to visit Boyd Cave today, which is 1880 feet in length.  Here’s a diagram:

After our spelunking adventure, we did a bit of school.  Here I am explaining analog to digital converters to our son:

The kids created nameplates as part of their color theory work:

Tonight we’re dispersed camping in the Deschutes National Forest, really in the middle of nowhere.  Oh, and I think that’s snow I hear falling on our roof.
