A lovely little holiday...

Crater Lake and the Redwoods were far more beautiful than either of us expected. We had a fabulous trip. Here are a few highlight photos.
Beaver Marsh, OR. Besides the beautiful clouds there is no reason to go there. Unless you want to stay in a mini A frame cabin. And we did.

Beautiful Crater Lake in the morning.



Mt. Scott. We had to hike it because of the name...said Tyler. Don't worry that it was straight uphill for 2 1/2 miles. But the swarms of butterflys at the top made the march uphill worth it.

We dominated that mountain. Obviously.

Very.Very.Very cold for swimming. But worth it.

Here I am getting very sunburned.

Jedidiah Smith Redwood Forest. Very big trees.

That little red dot is Tyler.

Looking good by the "Boy Scout Tree."



Our last and freezing cold day on the coast.

Crater lake looks even more beautiful in those pictures than I remember! I'm glad you had fun! AND you swam in it! Awesome! I wish we would have... everyone we talked to said there was no way to do it....obviously they were wrong. Next time! Well I need to hear more about it- hopefully we'll be getting together soon!
