Days 19 & 20: Crater Lake, Klamath Falls & Keno, OR



After leaving the O'Casey cabin by the river, we headed south for Crater Lake. I remembered it as one of the highlights of my last trip. This time, it had snowed up at the crest, so it added another beautiful dimension. We helped Emilee traverse the snow and ice and got some great pictures.

If you're ever in Southern Oregon, take the time to go see this nearly 2,000 ft.-deep lake in the crater of an extinct volcano. There's nothing like it.

After Crater Lake, we made our way to Klamath Falls to a motel that the preacher in Keno (Steve Snyder) had arranged for us to stay in, not just tonight (Saturday), but also on Sunday night. It even had a hot tub which we enjoyed. It's good to meet people and stay in their homes--we've had some great hosts--but it's also nice once in a while to retreat to a motel to sort out clothes and have some private time. The preacher and his wife and granddaughter took us to eat at Sizzler. They were great encouragers.

The next morning we drove the 17 miles to Keno, where I preached at the 9:30 service and then did the LATM presentation at the 11:00 Sunday School hour. The people were super.
