My best friend spends every summer in Oregon doing volunteer work with an archaeologist who works for the BLM (Bureau of Land Management). I think she's been doing this since the summer of '86. I finally went and visited her a few years ago for a week and had such a good time I had to go back the next year. (It's no wonder she's been back year after year!) On both of my visits, we took 4 or 5 days and drove around exploring Oregon. The first time, over to the coast and down into Northern California...the second time, up to the Columbia River, over to the coast, and around Mt. Saint Helens. It's a beautiful part of the country. And, Crater Lake has to be one of the most amazingly gorgeous natural wonders I can ever remember seeing. The water is sooooo blue. Alas, we didn't take the ferry boat to Wizard Island (seen here on the left) and were, of course, sorry about it afterward. But, that's life, eh? Perhaps next time...
