Onondaga Cave State Park

We just returned from spending 4 days at Onondaga Cave State Park in Missouri. That was 4 days without cell service or a television signal and the park’s WiFi wasn’t working either. Because the campground is in a deep valley and there is heavy tree cover in the campground only a few sites work for satellite reception too. It was like camping in the 40’s…except I have a big modern RV. It also reminded me of how hooked I am on technology.

There are two beautiful caves in the state park, the namesake Onondaga and Cathedral Cave. Onondaga has electrical lighting in the cave while Cathedral has none and tour visitors carry park provided lanterns.

Sunday we took a tour of Onondaga Cave in the park, I had forgotten how beautiful that cave is.

BTW, Missouri’s unofficial nickname is the cave state.

Back in the days when I was a working stiff I enjoyed being away from it all. Now that I’m retired I still enjoy camping but now I prefer to have an Internet connection. I like having instant access to weather radar and weather alerts via my smart phone. This is especially true when I camp in places that are prone to flash flooding like the state park we stayed at.
