July 10, 2015-Part 2-Trip to Otter Creek Loop Newport and Devil’s Punchbowl

Friday, July 10, 2015-Part 2-Trip to Otter Creek Loop and Devil’s Punchbowl


We came back and made cinnamon buns for all of us and then off we went.  We wanted to start at the furthest point and work our way back.  But that did not work out. We kept seeing things that we had to stop and see. Out first stop turned out to be the Otter Creek Loop where we saw a waterfall and the Rocky Creek (Ben Jones) bridge that was built in 1927. Of course the views were a plus too.  Next was Devil’s Punchbowl.  This was they believe a cave in which the top collapsed leaving a bowl in which the water runs into it.  At high tide the water shoots through the top.  Unfortunately we were not there at high tide.  We took at walk down to the bowl seeing some tidal pools and natural bridges.  We explored (me mostly) the caves and even went through a tunnel that went from the bowl to the ocean.  I barely fit through it.  Mike did not fit at all.
