RICH'S NEW FROM CAMP WEBEGONE 

(Editor's Note: timewise, this entry occurs before the previous two)

We have a visitor to our campsite: Nancy Burch. Nancy arrived with lots of food offerings (we eat well!).

It is such a joy to share our adventure here with someone, to share with them the beauty of this wonderful place. We have been waiting for a visitor to come to go to Crater Lake, and the timing could not have been better. Though we did not get to see the incredible blueness of Crater Lake, the clouds made up for it in drama. Even though it was crowded, we managed to enjoy viewing and walking the area. 

Last time when Cheryl and I were here, the clouds moved in and obscured the lake. Well, the day of Nancy's arrival, it clouded over and we had a thunderstorm with a little hail and .41 inches of rain. But that morning we were able to take her in sunshine up the river and really enjoy the sites that are just in our walking distance. (Nancy got to experience a real range of weather during here stay here).

An added bonus is Nancy got to ride Cheryl's bike and that opened up joy for her as she buzzed around the camp through the trees without the hills of SW Portland and the traffic. I see a bike in her future.

Talking, sharing food and bad weather (which we sat through singing songs from the song book until we were all a bit hoarse). It was a delight. Thanks for the visit Nancy.
