Crater Lake

                                         We had a wonderful vacation to Southern Oregon.  This is
                                         Umpqua River on the way to Crater Lake. It was beautiful
                                         and sooooo warm in So. Oregon.

                                       The sky was amazingly blue. The only clouds were thunder heads
                                       that could be seen through the trees. I took this out the window
                                       while Dad was driving.  You can see the car antennae right through
                                       the middle of the cloud.

                                         We got to the lake and it was raining huge drops of rain.
                                         The clouds just opened and dumped.  Thank goodness we
                                         had an umbrella and jackets in the car.

                                         It is so beautiful, even on a cloudy day.  The water is an
                                         indescribable blue.

                                          It was in the 90's that day and we could still see snow fields!

                                          There's no way to show how steep the sides of the crater
                                          are.  At the very bottom of the picture is the rock retaining
                                          wall we were leaning over.  It's a LONG way down.

                                         A nice lady took our picture in the very same spot we
                                         had our picture taken as a family in 1986.
