Beau, was with us as well.\u00a0 There were good times, good food, and beautiful scenery…. And lots of Legos and Wingspan – plus “Pie-Face”.\u00a0 (Thanks, Beau, I borrowed some of your great pictures!)<\/p>\n

\"\"\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Our next stop was the High Desert Museum in Bend OR.\u00a0 This included displays depicting the life of the Native Americans, the settlers, and wildlife of the region.<\/p>\n

It was highlighted with a free-flying raptor show, the birds were ‘very’ close!<\/p>\n

We had a wonderful day trip to Crater Lake National Park, which is about an hour from our campground.\u00a0 As with the Grand Canyon and other huge places, it is hard to wrap your mind around the size:\u00a0 It is six miles from one end of the lake to the other!\u00a0 If you wonder where all the water comes from, average\u00a0snowfall<\/b> is 575 inches!\u00a0 Notice the snow in June.<\/p>\n

Note the small dot on the water toward the right side. That is an 18 ft. power boat!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
