We went as far west as we could drive. We made it to the Pacific Ocean and the Redwoods National Park. We camped at Klamath River RV Park and spend several days around these massive trees. Then on to Lassen Volcanic National Park for a pleasant surprise. We did not know what to expect, butvery glad we made the journey. And then headed to Subway Cave Lava Tubes which was awesome.

Welcome to Oregon, our next stop on our Oregon Trail '24 journey. We headed to Diamond Lake to camp, fish, and hike to waterfalls for 5 days. It is located just 15 minutes away from Crater Lake National Park. It has been 34 years since we were here last. Not much has changed over the years. Hope you enjoy the ride revisiting some of my boyhood stomping grounds.

The next stop on our Oregon Trail tour is in Montana. We stayed in St Mary on the east side of Glacier National Park. It was easy to get to the Going to the Sun road and up to Many Glaciers. We also made a day trip un into Canada to visit Waterton Lakes National Park on the north edge of Glacier. Both places are amazing.

We headed to Old Greenville Rec. Area on Lake Wappapellpo / St. Francic River to watch the total solar eclipse. The campground was very nice and clean with large sites and the walking/biking trails were great. You could go from the campground right into town. Lots of history here from the old town site to the Trail of Tears. The bad part about this trip was we had to cut it short and get our 13...

    Wonderful video. Been going there since mid 60s. Still go once a year with wife. Even went when Lake Delton was emptied. Got to walk on it. Would have liked to see the winding roads leading to Devils Lake. We like camping on south end. Now it's cabin rentals on Delton. You get old, you want comfort.

    Dennis Port is beautiful year round! The bayside of Dennis is nice also...but a little too spread out and honky tonk (especially the beaches...usually left trashy in the summer). So Dennis Port on the ocean side is definitely the better call. Great call on The Oyster Company (I was there last week!) and Sailing Cow (a little dumpy, but good breakfast and great location...right on the beach). Thanks for posting this!

    I first visited Ha Ha Tonka in 1969 July, October, and January 1970. Working on a term paper of historical places in Missouri. I interviewed 18 members of the Osage Indian tribe. The white man misspell Ha Ha Tonka. According the tribe elders I interviewed it is one word, meaning laughing waters. The owner at that time was a restate company in Florida. The castle is half of what is was back in the late 1960's. Vandals (partying high kids had there way with the water tower and castle).

      Wow. Great info. I also first visited HHT in the early 70s, before it became a state park and before the water tower burned. We drove over the natural bridge to get to the castle area. I’m as impressed with it now as I was then. I hate that you can no longer clamber around on the ruins, but I certainly understand why.
