Let it Snow, Let it Snow, Let Snow.....

Visiting Crater Lake we had a wonderful surprise. Snow!

Snow laced trees at Crater Lake

 Beautifully snow laced trees. The feeling of excitement that snow brings us and inspires the occasional and spontaneous snowball fight.

Eva, Lisa and Rich delighting in the snow

This was a first for Rich and I. Crater Lake in the snow. Eva and Lisa staying at the Prospect Inn, were also delighted by the unexpected snow.





When we arrived to view Crater Lake, the lake was clouded over. For a brief moment the wind blew the clouds away from Wizard Island revealing a stunning view of the lake.

Not the sunny, clear blue day we expected but a welcomed unexpected, joyous experience.

Rogue River by Natural Bridge

With a rainy winter and a moderate amount of snow (below average though), the Rogue River is very full with lots of ruckus, rushing, turbulent water.

The photo I took last year of this spot, the large rock was not covered with water.

Weather Update: We have had a little bit of everything. A few days of extreme heat, humidity and mosquitoes. I was miserable and began to question why I was volunteering at Natural Bridge Campground. That passed and was followed by a one-and-a-half to two hour thunderstorm that included lightening, rain and hail. No mosquitoes though. Yeah! My bites have bites. Today we are chasing sunny spots to warm up. The high will be about 63 degrees. Tomorrow morning should be in the high 30's. Extreme heat to extreme cold. Think I'll stay in the trailer tomorrow morning. One of the challenges and joys of Camp Webegone is experiencing the weather first hand. A sunny warm day is indeed a great joy.

Weather: Sunny and warm each day

White Iris

May is the time of the white flowers. In the tree canopy, dozens of dogwood trees are in full bloom. Vanilla leaf blooms cover a large part of the campground. False solomon seal blooms dot the forest floor. There are hundreds of white iris is bloom. There is the odd bit of color in bloom, three calypso orchids.

Warm sunny days, cool nights, vistas of flowers in bloom and dappled forest light. We are in paradise.
