September 17-19th
The last reservation we have on our trip before heading for home later this week, is Crater Lake RV Park in Prospect, Oregon. Prospect is about 20 miles south of Crater Lake National Park in a beautiful area that gives us a nice ride on the trike to get there. The weather is perfect with lots of sun in the 60s.
A few facts from the National Park Service: Crater Lake used to be a 12,000 ft tall volcano called Mount Mazama. About 7700 years ago, there was a major eruption that may have been the largest in North America in the past 640,000 years. The volcano collapsed and created Crater Lake. It is considered to be the cleanest large body of water in the world. It is fed only by rain and snow, no rivers or streams. It is 4.5 - 6 miles wide, 1943 feet deep at it's deepest point and it gets about 43 feet of snowfall annually.
Anyway... I think I've found another "favorite place to be" in the world. I literally gasped out loud when I first set eyes on Crater Lake and we spent the entire day there driving around the 33-mile rim road. There are lots of overlooks and you just never get tired of it. I'll let the pictures show you. Crater Lake gave us unbelievably...
Happy Trails.
