Probkem keeping your RV drawers closed when in motion? I could not find a premade solution for installing neodymium magnet latches on the drawers in my Rockwood mini Lite 2509s trailer, so I conceived of this prototype to determine if I can actually prove out a method to install magnetic catches that you cannot see or do not interfere with the drawer operation. Join me on this quest to find out if my concept solution works!

It isn't often you get to venture a mile into the earth in pitch blackness! The Lava River Cave near Bend, Oregon, is part of the Newberry National Volcanic Monument, which is managed by the United States Forest Service. The northwest section of the cave is the longest continuous lava tube in Oregon. While the cave's discovery in 1889 was officially credited to a pioneer hunter, the presence of obsidian flakes near the cave has led archaeologists to conclude that Native Americans knew about the cave long before settlers arrived in central Oregon.

The eruption which formed the Lava River Cave occurred about 80,000 years ago. The Lava River Cave was created by lava flowing downhill from a volcanic vent toward the Deschutes River.

The area around the Lava River Cave receives about 18 inches (46 cm) of precipitation per year. Over the centuries, water from rainfall and snow melt has seeped down through the soil and cracks in the cave roof depositing sand on the cave floor. Small rivulets of water carry the sand downhill, plugging the far end of the cave with sediment. As a result, it is unknown how far the cave actually extends beyond the sand plug at the end of the trail.

We hiked a 3 mile segment of the 7.5 mile Deer Creek Tribute Trail.

The town of Nevada City is built around Deer Creek, a tributary of the Yuba River. That same creek is now the focus of a great trail network commemorating the early contributions of native Nisenan and Chinese people to the history of this place.

Access the trail from downtown Nevada City or take your chances finding parking nearer the thebtrailhead!

This trail features a suspension bridge called the Nisenan Tribute Bridge or “Anqkula Seo”. it spans a beautiful section of Deer Creek, connecting to the Environs Trail on the other side.
