We left Oroville on Monday and drove to Lassen Volcanic National Park. Weather is still hot but great with sunny days and cool nights.
After Yosemite we were still on a "high." Upon entering Lassen Volcanic NP we were not as excited, however, Lassen is gorgeous in its own way & far less crowded. JPL hurt his knee (don't know how but woke up our first full day in Lassen barely able to walk) so we were limited to just driving around. Ellen did a short, but difficult, one hour hike by herself up Lassen Peak as far as allowed this year. The park service is currently improving the trail on the top half and no one is allowed past the half way point.
We had no cell or internet at Lassen and could do no posting.
We ended up leaving a day early and driving to Crater Lake National Park. Ellen was for staying but I felt if I had to sit around all day I might as well be driving on down the trail.
So, got to Crater late afternoon today (Wednesday). The only RV campground is 7 miles from the Lake itself so we have yet to see it. Plan on going in the morning.
So far, no cell service here but I have managed to get online (a very slow connection) with my antenna and amplifier. Will try to load pictures from Lassen and Crater tomorrow if possible.
But we are here for at least 3 nights. Anxious to visit the lake and all its beauty.
More tomorrow.
