A Smoky Day at Crater Lake, OR...

Dad and I have just made it to Crater Lake in Oregon and I am saddened to report that due to a forest fire a couple hundred miles away in Oakridge, OR the smoke has almost completely blocked our view! We can just make out the outline of Wizard Island. The lake is the product of a volcanic erruption and is completely surrounded by mountains. It is supposed to be a spectacular shade of blue but that is something we are not meant to see today. However, although the park is covered in a haze of smoke, it is easy to see how beautiful it is. Hopefully someday I will make it back and see it in all its glory! On to Klamath Falls, OR for some biking!
