Thanksgiving 2009 at Black Butte Ranch

We had a great week relaxing and eating at Black Butte, The weather was perfect high 50s to mid 60s a bit of snow on the ground when we got there but it melted pretty quickly.
We had a small meal since we were coming back home on Friday.
The boys really enjoyed eating the turkey breast and all the side dishes, we had a fun time watching movies, swimming and sleeping…..

September 12th 2009 - Trip to Crater Lake our 2nd favorite spot in Oregon!!!!!
























































































































Crater Lake - Like No Place Else on Earth

Crater Lake has inspired people for hundreds of years. No place else on earth combines a deep, pure lake, so blue in color; sheer surrounding cliffs, almost two thousand feet high; two picturesque islands; and a violent volcanic past. It is a place of immeasurable beauty, and an outstanding outdoor laboratory and classroom.
Crater Lake is located in Southern Oregon on the crest of the Cascade Mountain range, 100 miles (160 km) east of the Pacific Ocean. It lies inside a caldera, or volcanic basin, created when the 12,000 foot (3,660 meter) high Mount Mazama collapsed 7,700 years ago following a large eruption.
Generous amounts of winter snow, averaging 533 inches (1,354 cm) per year, supply the lake with water. There are no inlets or outlets to the lake. Crater Lake, at 1,943 feet (592 meters) deep, is the seventh deepest lake in the world and the deepest in the United States. Evaporation and seepage prevent the lake from becoming any deeper.
