In the May 2012 edition of RV Life magazine there is an article entitled “Afloat in a Gothic Cave“. The article covers Natural Bridges where a stream travels through sections of a cavern providing a great place to cool off during a hot California Summer. Those of us with a sense of adventure can swim or float right through the hillside! If you need a better visual of what awaits you check out a short video here. If you are looking for even more adventure and a convenient spot to base camp with your RV while visiting Natural Bridges then check out Moaning Caverns.
The caverns are just a few miles “up” the road from Natural Bridges and overnight stays are allowed for a parking charge of $10 per vehicle. Moaning Caverns offers a whole slew of activities for the adventurous including: zip lines, repelling, adventure cave trip, climbing tower and more.
Calaveras County may be best known for Mark Twain’s Celebrated Jumping Frog, but for adventure seekers it offers so much more!
Dave Helgeson’s many roles in the RV industry started before he even had a driver’s license. His grandparents and father owned an RV dealership before the term “RV” had been coined, and Dave played a pivotal role in nearly every position of an RV dealership. He and his wife Cheri launched their own RV dealership in the Pacific Northwest. The duo also spent 29 years overseeing regional RV shows. Dave has also served as President of a local chapter of the Recreational Vehicle Dealers Association (RVDA), worked on the board of advisors for the RV Technician Program of a local technical college, and served as a board member of the Manufactured Home and RV Association. Dave’s reputation earned him the title of “The foremost expert on boondocking,” bestowed by RV industry icon, the late Gary Bunzer (The RV Doctor). When he’s not out boondocking, you’ll find Dave in the spotlight at RV shows across the country, giving seminars about all things RVing. He and Cheri currently roam in their fifth travel trailer, with Dave doing all the service, repair and modifications to his own unit.
