Day 46 & 47, SNOWDAYS!

Snow in June? Yes, if you are in Diamond Lake, Oregon. More on that in a minute. Leaving Lakeport, we overnighted in Arcata, Ca and then pressed onward to Diamond Lake, Oregon. First, it was nice to leave California. Now don't get me wrong, Cali is a great state, after all I was born here but the Roadshow has been here a long time and has made the trip from southern California to north back to south and now back north again. That's a lot of miles through the same countryside and I was ready for a change.

The trees here are beautiful which is likely why people live here, after all it isn't for the technology. Not much internet or cell phone access here, just trees. In fact, we drove through one small town and spotted a WISP there with a sign out front that read "DISCOVER THE INTERNET". I wish I had a picture, but that sign says it all. Oregon is still discovering the internet and that makes running a technology based business difficult. Again, the sights make up for that.

Today, we woke up to snow. Yes, snow, little snow flakes falling from the Oregon sky thereby reminding us we aren't in Texas any more. After breakfast we headed up to Crater Lake National Park, the site of a six mile wide lake formed in the crater of a collapsed volcano. The water is ultra pure and absolutely gorgeous. Remember the snow we had in Diamond Lake this morning? Well, there was plenty up at Crater Lake. In fact, thy still had 8-10 feet in many places (their annual is about 48 feet of snow, WOW). Tomorrow we press onward to Washington, so until then, enjoy the sites from Crater Lake.



PS: I love this sign, so informative...
