2025 Crater Lake Ride the Rim

I visited Crater Lake about 35 years ago and slept outdoors once. I remember being amazed and almost shocked by the huge panorama of the starry sky with no light pollution. It was amazing. Such a beautiful spot.

Boy, a bike trip there would be amazing!

The last time I was there, was 1969, back from VN,
grew up to the south of Crater Lake in K Falls,
I got to take the family there, we, G Ma and G Pa,
all the grand kids went there several times a yr.

We had to find the "OLD MAN" in the crater,
before G Pa could find it. I doubt that he is still around.
It brings back, old memory's of me and the Big Grey squirrel...
Yes, I am an Oregon Webfoot,

Oh my. Reminds me of a funny story… I was driving across the country and hit a bit of a snowstorm in Arizona as I got close to the south rim of the Grand Canyon… I was traveling with my then fiancée and we got to the canyon, parked the car, and walked to the trailhead of the Kaibob trail and proceeded to laugh our asses off. We could just as easily have been overlooking our back yard. Couldn’t see a damn thing through the white out. We hopped back in the car and went to the IMAX theater, about 5 miles away and watched the canyon movie there.

It was a good thing we’d both been there before or I’m sure the laughs would’ve turned into big disappointment.
