Northeast section of the Crater Lake rim

@CraterLakeNPS

I spent yesterday with a group of new SOU business students visiting Crater Lake (most for the first time). The weather wasn’t great. A few inches of snow had fallen a couple days before, but much of the snow had melted. The skies were cloudy the entire time we were there without a hint of sun or blue. Rain began to fall before noon, and the rain grew in intensity by the time we left at about 1 p.m. Our hike was cancelled so today’s photo was taken from inside the second floor of the gift shop in Rim Village.

Be careful out there people. It’s October and all. You don’t want to lose your mind.

Crazy clouds from Gateway Mall (Springfield, Oregon)

My random image of the day was this one from early last year. We were in Eugene and had to escape to the mall as this storm was dumping large amounts of rain on parts of town.

Tomorrow we will head back up I-5 to drop Ryan off for his first year of college at the University of Oregon.
