i called crater lake and asked if the rim was open... they said the north entrance was closed but the west entrance was open... i asked if the rim was open... they said yes it was open but you had to use the west entrance...
so we got up there with great anticipation of riding the rim and taking it all in... just to be informed that the rim was closed... the confusion was the road was open to the rim village... when i was talking about the rim road that goes around the entire lake... o well...
it was great to ride in the fresh crisp air... taking in all the scenery... you or-a-goons have it going on... mt hood next weekend...
here is our crater lake ride report...
my zumo... a tank bag map and a highgear watch...
the umpqua river... it was flowing like a mo...
crazy rocks everywhere...
the road to toketee falls was closed due to storm damage... so were a couple others... but we got to these...
mount bailey...
the main roads were good... the side roads were like this... covered with little red lava rocks...
mount theilsen...
getting close to the crater...
the bug eye brick and the crater lake...
that crazy wench starting a fight...
and the critters... there were many...
there you go...

Pretty pics there J.O.
I gather from the controller there on your tank bag that it must have been a little cold up there?
Did you have to pick any of that red lava pebles out of your chicken strips?

I was there 2 weeks ago and although we made it to the Rim, the fog and clouds were so thick that we never got a glimpse of the lake.
Looks like you got a good ridin day. _________________ Four wheels move the body - two wheels moves the soul |

nice pics, j o!
That sure was a heck of a lot of gravel in the road. Coming up on that unsuspecting like sure would lead to quite a pucker moment...
Did you have the burger at the Lodge up near the rim? I had breakfast there when I was on my big trip last year. The waiter gave me the senior discount ($2.50 off!). I'm 45... I don't even LOOK that old, except I have a good amount of grey hair. So I called my older sister up (2 years older) and told her that for the first time in my life, I'd beat her to an age related milestone - my first senior discount. She got a kick out of that. _________________ M N B
