Bob and Kel at Crater Lake

Mt. Mazama erupted 7,700 years ago. After expelling ash and pumice this huge mountain collapsed and created a beautiful lake encircled with green forests and steep mountains. We had magnificent views of Wizard Island in Crater Lake with the shadows and clouds moving in. We arrived late in the day with the possibility of snow expected. We took pictures and decided to hi-tail it off the mountain, it was cold. This time of year, campgrounds are closed and the drive out of the National Park is significant plus the trip to another campground was a bit of a hike. So off we went to Toketee Campground in Umpqua National Forest, a lovely, quiet area and a good night’s sleep. We got lots of photos of Crater Lake. The Lodge was under construction.
