short summer drives




Crater Lake National Park


It's 100 degrees in the valley; time to get out of the kitchen if you can't stand the heat.

I stop at the bank for some cash and to get a pin number for my card. It's Friday so she, the banker, starts with ' What are your plans for the weekend?'

I'm driving but haven't made up my mind where to go. I'm all packed with nowhere to go. I think I'll spin a bottle, see where it stops and start from there.

After a brief revolution, the bottle points to the east. I take east 62. On the map, it's not a designated scenic drive but it leads to Crater Lake which is a National Park
