This week i'm spending 4 and a half days in Southern and Central Oregon. I flew into Medford on Monday, spent last night in Klamath Falls and today we drove to Bend, OR. Klamath Falls isn't the lucky part, the lucky part is that we got to drive by Crater Lake, we had enough time before our second observation session in Bend that we were able to take the scenic route right through Crater Lake National Park. I can't even explain the breath-taking beauty so here are a few pictures: 
Crater Lake was formed nearly 8000 years ago when a volcano called Mt. Mazama erupted, after the eruption, the top of the volcano collapsed in forming a huge caldera.(Look at my impressive vocabulary!!)
Can you believe it is 6 miles wide??
Can you believe it is 6 miles wide??This one is hard to see but at the top of the little snow hill is the cutest little rock and log cabin.
The peak in the very middle of this picture is called Scott's Peak :O)

WOW! Nice pictures! You are so lucky to see such beautiful places. Thank you so much for your prayers, you are so sweet! We are doing great, and just keep moving forward. :)
I could handle going on a nice relaxing vacation there. What a beautiful place.
Thanks for the pictures... You are right it is pretty... It looks like they are getting you around this country...
Oregon is beautiful!
I'm so sad that I didn't get to see you guys :o( This was the craziest visit yet...running non stop. Hope all is well, love and miss you guys!
I love Oregon. My sister lives in Prineville(and her husband Scott would appreciate your naming of the mountain, too). They have to run over to Bend (Prineville is east of Bend)for big shopping, good restaurants, things like that. Prineville now has a theater, so they don't have to go to Bend for the movies. Thanks for the pictures.
