Adamanda's Crater Lake 2001

(Back to Oct '01 trip page)

What a stunning place.

We were lucky to arrive when we did - it was the last weekend of the season. Apparently the weather has been a lot milder this year - other years the snow is already two feet deep.

We were lucky with the weather too - apparently sometimes you can't see much lake, but for us it was clear and breathtakingly calm.

I dunno how busy the place gets at peak season, but we only saw a few other folk - just two other couples walking down the 1 mile trail to the waters edge. The boat rides were closed for winter, but it was a lovely walk.

Lakes need islands to give perspective -
like Emerald Island at Lake Tahoe,
Wizard Island adds to the beatuy of the place

and last longer than you can believe,
like a school physics teacher's dream!

Antiques (old stuff)
Later in our journey through Oregon,
we found an antique shop which helpfully
added a description of what antiques are :-)
