The first real hiccup, of the trip (involving our camper) has been dealing with the death of our refrigerator. We have a large cooler, we always travel with, to store extras and ice (that won’t fit in our small dorm size fridge) so, we’ve managed to make do. However, discovering a dealership in Eugene, that has a model that will fit our trailer and a service appointment time to install it has taken precedence over our plans to head to Collier State Park, this weekend, near Crater Lake National Park. The campground, where we are right now, is about 80 miles from the national park. We decided, even though it’s a bit of a drive, we didn’t want to leave this area without seeing America’s deepest lake. We got up super early this morning and made it to the park with only a handful of other people. We were amazed by this impressive landmark formed over 7,000 years ago when Mt. Mazama erupted and collapsed creating a 2,000 foot deep crater. The end result is a lake created solely from snow melt; there is no water flowing in or out. We spent the day hiking and picnicking in the park. What a beautiful day! What a beautiful place!
