Crater Lake trip

Last weekend Uncle Sam joined us from Seattle (after battling flat tires and traffic), and all of us headed down south. First stop was the Wildlife Safari in Winston, followed by a pleasant evening in the Rogue River National Forest. This was as close to camping as the urban Narjalas+Sam were going to get, but it was great to get out and experience a bit of nature. Having a yum roadside BBQ didn't hurt either. The next morning we headed up to Crater Lake; the kids didn't seem to think it was anything special, though, and requested they be driven home so they could watch Mickey Mouse on TV. The rest of us, though, were able to appreciate the splendor somewhat more.
