I haven’t bothered to verify it, but our tour guide told us that the ice destroys these decks every year and they have to be rebuilt at the beginning of each season.

The decks below horseshoe falls on the Canadian have an even more impressive view, but they don’t get you nearly as close.

Don’t put this one too high up your list of things to do, unless a) you’ve never been in a cave anywhere, or b) it’s really, really hot out. This cave wasn’t much more spectacular than what I can see in central Pennsylvania (and I’m quite sure, elsewhere around the country.) Spend the extra couple of hours on the beach, or touring the naval yard in the evening.

After less than a day on the island, I completely understood why they don’t let anyone move to the island.

We went to see my girlfriend’s brother outside of Eureka last November. We flew into San Francisco and drove through Napa and the red woods to get to his place in the mountains. It’s a beautiful part of the country, and I will be back.
