Our Visit to Crater Lake

May 20, 2019

After 30 + years we returned to Crater Lake. Its beauty did not disappoint! It has to be one of the most beautiful places in the world. God has created an amazingly beautiful world and this is just one little tiny portion of it! How blessed I am to have seen this beautiful part of the world. Praise God! And do you know we could have so easily missed the opportunity.? This was not in our plan (not that we have very detailed plans usually anyway). We were already in Oregon and Lawrence said let’s go by Crater Lake! We checked distance, cost, weather, etc. and we jumped on the opportunity. So many of the wonderful things I have experienced in my life were not scheduled or planned they were seized. I’m glad I have learned a tiny bit to turn loose and experience the unplanned joys along the way. Of course, marrying a rambling man helped.

Please share an experience that you didn’t plan for but turned into something wonderful!

Did you know that Crater Lake is the deepest lake in the United States and one of the most beautiful? It is surrounded by cliffs and fed entirely by rain and snow. It snowed the night before our visit and the road from the north entrance was closed. (website).

This trip really made me want to get a great camera. Cell phone pictures just don’t capture the glory!
