Crater Lake Lodge in Winter
The people inside were hoping for a spectacular view. Instead they got shutters on this day.

Crater Lake in the Winter
Even though I have lived in Southern Oregon for almost nine years now I have only seen Crater Lake once, and that was before moving here! The last time I went to Crater Lake it was the middle of the night to pick up my family camping in a snow storm. Needless to say, I didn’t see it then.
After snowmobiling nearby we decided to take a look at Crater Lake in the winter. Unfortunately, as we drew closer it began to snow. By the time we got there the wind was blowing really strong and visibility was next to nothing. The above photo would be quite the scenic one on many other days as Crater Lake would be in the background. As it was, it was all we could do to keep from getting blown off the snow cliff into the lake far below.

This reminds me of a story I once read…
It all comes from liking honey too much.

Union Creek Resort & Beckie’s Cafe
This past weekend we went snowmobiling. On the way there we stopped at the Union Creek Resort to use the bathroom. The new owners were extremely nice. My wife ran in and told them she would purchase something if she could just use the bathroom first. They showed her to the bathroom and told her she didn’t need to buy anything. They told me I could play pool while I waited. Their lodgings looked like a lot of fun so we will have to make a night of it at some point in the future. They also rent snowmobiles.
Beckie’s Cafe is across the street. We have enjoyed many a fine pie at Beckie’s over the years.
Winter or Spring?

If you look closely you can see not only cows but also some trucks on I-5.
