Crater Lake National Park, Oregon, Aug. 5, 2008 --
On Tuesday -- it was supposed to be in the morning but ended up afternoon -- the Dynamic Trio packed up 
and drove the two-hour drive north to Crater Lake. The Dynamic Trio consists of Gregory and his special lady friend, Suzanne, and myself, Third-Wheel Tweddell. We hiked to the top of a nearby mountain, Mount Scott. The second picture is one of the lake from the top of the mountain, evening sun pouring down to the water from heaven. The other two are pics from a viewing area as we drove back down to the camping spot after the hike.

I don't have much of a story about the short trip -- we built a fire, made hobo stew, and drank a few beers at the campsite -- but what I can say is that seeing Crater Lake, like the Grand Canyon, has been on my list for some time. I was in awe from the first sight. Could it be called a religious experience? Maybe some would. I don't know. All that I know is that I felt pretty good about this world and myself in it.
