We have been pretty much without good Internet for the last couple of weeks so I am running a little behind. Jim and Tracy went on to Crater Lake and Lee and I stayed in Bend to have the Doctor look at my shoulder again. We were considering staying and having surgery done there. We ended up with 2 shots in the left shoulder and 1 in the right shoulder and we are hoping to buy time so we can complete our trip before I deal with shoulder surgery.
We left Bend on August 21 and have made our way south to our daughter, Karen, in Mill Valley. We will spend a week here and then over to Reno and down to LasVegas to visit our niece Brooke.
We drove over to Crater Lake from Bend to visit Jim and Tracy at the Diamond Lake RV park. We spent the day doing the scenic drive and going to the falls in the area. At the end of the day we sat at a picnic table here at Diamond Lake and had pizza together.
This pyroclastic flow
Here's what it looks like where that pyroclastic flow has occurred . Nothing grows.
I've never seen a lake as blue as Crater Lake. The lake is formed by the lava Caldera rim.
Peaceful picnic spot along Diamond Lake.
Jim and Tracy our hiking buddies.
No matter where you view Crater Lake from it is spectacular.
The fires are burning all around us. The day after we were at Crater Lake the north gate was closed due to the fires.
Lee just loves these Ponderosa pines.
Beautiful path to the falls.
Clear water falls
Watson Falls
Toketee Falls
White Horse Falls
We stopped for a snack and Bailey became king of the hill.
Gorgeous peaceful spot.
A really nice day spent with really good friends.

We will stop and see Jim and Tracy when we head east in Arizona.
