Day 2: Crater Lake National Park, Oregon

Crater Lake National Park has a personality all its own. Due to forest fires we could not enter through the north entrance. We had to drive around to the south entrance to enter the park.

This park is very picturesque. This park offers artists of all types many opportunities to capture a spirit which only this park provides. I chose to show most of the images in black and white because the haze of the forest fires did not allow for the colors to shine.

Of course, Donna and I were diligent in earning our Crater Lake Junior Ranger badges - which we wear proudly.

After our day at Crater Lake we headed back to Bend Oregon and had a totally AMAZING dinner at “Pastini’s” in the Old Mill area. #pastini Also, Donna who is known across the world to be the “Woman who doesn’t drink,” found a new favorite Pinot Gris, produced by Cooper Mountain Vineyards, Willamette Valley, Oregon. #CooperMountainVinyardsLæs mere
