Crater Lake


I woke up at 7:30 am. Gnarly.

We drove to Crater Lake. The lake is insane. I've never been one to say, "It was beyond words", but this lake is. We descended the mile into the crater to the edge of the lake. All you can see from the lake's edge is the lake and the volcanic dome that encases it. Asides from that, you just see sky. It's like a lonely little planet of your own, but you are completly content with your little planet and its lake. Gnarly.

We spent the remainder of the day dicking around at Starbucks in Medford, trying to get the internet to work.

Ohhh!!!!

I got stung by a bee. Twice.

I also drank water from the lake. I'm afraid Im going to die of diarrhea any day now.

I see that you got the Colman lamp working. Did you swim (bathe) in Crater Lake?

i don't want to write a comment but i will, just to flaunt my own knowledge. crater lake is the caldera from a very large volcano. calderas are the largest form of craters. i think it's pretty cool to imagine the whole surrounding area as a big big big volcano and what is now a big lake was just the tip of the geologic iceberg. anyway, i miss you lots!
