Highlights of the day included:
1. Walking a mile into an intact lava tube near
Bend; it was cool how uniform and rounded the ceiling was. Volcanic action is
pretty awesome, especially when it happened ages ago and is no longer
threatening your life with molten lava.
2. Driving around a portion of Crater Lake. Again,
volcanic activity is awesome. This lake is SO blue! So clear! And the walls
into it are sheer and jagged. Beautiful.
3. Hwy 97 south from Crater Lake to Cali—great views
of desert, pines, hills, rainclouds on either side, sunbeams shining down, views
of Mt. Shasta, and a very zippy pace with little traffic.
Lowlights: Multiple U-turns and feeling sick. Both of us are feeling totally zapped and
Bry’s a bit sick so we ix-nayed camping tonight and are at a cheap motel in hopes of fending off our
headaches and promoting health.
San Fran tomorrow!
