We got into the north entrance of Crater Lake and drove the west rim down. It's really cold and windy up here - the truck says it is 43. Cloudy and a few drizzles, so you can't really see the turquoise color like we did the last time we were here when it was surrounded by snow.
Crater Lake was the 6th national park established. It is 5 miles wide and ringed by cliffs almost 2,000' high. The lake has a depth of 1,943 feet, the deepest in the United States.
We decided to keep driving and landed at Goose Lake State Park, right on the Oregon/California border. (And Ron said he didn't want to go to California but I made him step on the state line!) Lots of quail and deer. The neighbors had some sort of UFO thing they were flying in the dark. Sure glad we knew it really wasn't one because it sure appeared to be one.
