Crater Lake National Park: mazama village campground

Efficient burning of firewood. I'm making up for lost boy scout time.

But technology is never really far away. I'm not exactly roughing it with a laptop, digital camera, cell phone with internet access, and satelitte radio.

Hard to leave this place. My new favorite place in the world.

This is turning out to be the trip of strange road conditions.

Layers like napoleon pastries. My mind never strays too far from food.

Finally through. It seems like the car is not the most favored method of transportation around here.

Highway 97

Outside of Bend Oregon, it smells like dead Xmas trees.

Today we passed, McFlanigan's Taxidermy. Their tag line is "Gloves for Hides." Ding Ho Hunan. Restaurant. Where billions of Chinese visitors shop in the middle of podunk Oregon.

Highway 26: warm springs indian reservation

This is a big ass indian reservation. With no pee breaks in the middle. The only bathroom on the road is at the casino. See how that works? But I'm been camping, and the entire world is my toilet.
Highway 26: mt hood national forest

Smokey the bear magnets needed here. Only you can prevent forest fires.

Interstate 5: toutle river safety rest area

Free coffee provided at Seattle area rest stops. And I caught up on emails and Instant Messages. Tacoma is stinky. A bad gassy chemical smell. City of robot farts.
