Sunday
While some of our Brothers have to leave after Dinner Saturday night, we recommend that you hang in there. Because you’ll get another shot at our Legendary Breakfast. It’s also a time for coming together with so many of your Brothers and the Robert Burns Masonic Lodge Malheur Cave Staff as everyone pitches in and puts everything back together before heading home.
“All Master Masons are Invited to Attend”
Note: There are no facilities at Malheur Cave for Wives or non-Masonic friends.
The total cost is a measly $55.00
SPECIAL NOTE: We have hired a porta-potty service this year, two extra porta-potties with cleaning service. Those of you who have been here before knows what that means....
Now where else can you get 5 full (and cooked to perfection) meals, be in a nationally known landmark, a lava tube cave so large it will stagger you, (especially when the entrance will barely allow the passage of a pickup truck), see a perfect degree, being cool all the while ((bring a jacket)), and sing Auld Lang Syne, a 1788 poem of Robert Burns, a Mason, the poet, and eat all of the Famous Hermiston Watermelon your heart desires? What else can we say!!
When you arrive, & after you get setup, said a few hellos, head for the Administration Site next to the Dining Tent by the Cook Shack. Sign in & get your ID Tag (Passport to your meals & the Cave's MM Degree)
