We go from air conditioning all day to freezing cold at night. Pioneer woman Corinne wants heat and hot water in the mornings. There is ice on the RV from dripping water. The temperature out is 31 degrees!
Today we visit Crater Lake. There is a bike race on the way. Crater Lake is the deepest lake in the US - 1,932 feet deep.
What an astoundingly beautiful place! The water is so blue, almost navy in places, and crystal clear. There are several green lagoons at the edges. There is a boat ride around the lake, but the hike down is 2 miles, which wouldn't be impossible if it weren't for the hike back up.
While we are at one of the viewpoints, we see a half-dozen ambulances and police vehicles. There is apparently a medical emergency at the Cleatwood Trail.
What we have learned today: Never ask a young person how far the hike is that they have just completed, or how long it took. Their answer will never match your skill level.
