Crater Lake RV Trip




We were up early Sunday getting ready to leave for the week at Crater Lake, Oregon. By the end of the evening the vehicles were loaded, gassed up, and hooked up to each other. All we had to do was get up in the morning and turn the key to start out. We left at 8am and got into Diamond Lake RV Park, five miles outside the Crater Lake northern entrance, at 4pm almost on the dot. Nice park, wooded, by the lake, full hookups, firepits etc. They also have WiFi but for whatever it is not letting me load any pictures onto the blogspot. I will try again but if no show up I will post them this coming weekend from home.


We took the Wrangler, Susan and I and yes, Ollie too, and drove around the 33 mile Rim Road.


We will visit again tomorrow and take the Nikon and video camera...leaving Ollie in the rig while we are gone.


If you have never been here you should make an effort to visit. The weather is in the 90's, the RV park is very comfortable and the park itself is very beautiful. We stayed outside the park because of "first come first served" campgrounds in the park and they have very few large RV sites there, and the road in places is narrow with no barriers and a long long way down if you should make an error.


I will try and post a couple of snapshots we took today with our little camera. Not sure the Wi-Fi will allow it.

Mark and Desiree's Wedding Party

We had a great time Saturday night at the wedding reception. Since they were just married in Hawaii the whold event had a Hawaiian theme. Everybody dressed tropical, the setting was outdoors and very beautiful, the food was Hawaiian themed. Plenty of things to drink and eat. Lots of friends I had not seen in quite a while. I even knew every song that the DJ played which may have been a first for any recent wedding I was at. I shot about 150 pictures at the wedding but won't post any since this is Mark and Desirees party and they should be the ones to feature the event. We really had a wonderful time, then had to spend Sunday packing the RV etc. for our trip.
