We left the ocean today....I was sad to say goodbye. We drove 4 hours to Crater Lake National Park. I have wanted to see this place for a long time. Unfortunately when we got there we were told the visibility was bad. We stopped at the first viewing area and climbed the hill. We could see a little but my ideas of a grand view were dashed. It was still pretty cool but you other picture people out there understand my sadness. But I really can't complain, this is the first time we have had conditions that made taking pictures a problem in all the trips we have taken! We drove on down to a visitor center and got Junior Ranger books. The overlook behind the building was kind of clear so I took a few more pictures. It didn't last long though, soon the whole lake was covered in fog. They had just had fires there recently but the weather was cold and misty, I am pretty sure this was fog and not smoke.
Our hotel for the night was interesting. It was actually a motel (Eagle Crater Lake Motel) with two king size beds. They had some interesting carvings of eagles. I was going to take pictures but it was rainy when we left. Oddly enough this has been one of my favorite places we have stayed!
