Day 2 of our random road trip shenanigans…

In spite of living so close to Crater Lake, Jason and I have yet to actually go there. (I guess it’s too close to deserve its own road trip?) Ironically enough it just happened to be “on the way” to where we thought we might want to go. (this is seriously how we plan things…)

Overall Crater Lake was pretty neat! Glad we stopped by to see it! It was very windy up top and therefore quite cold so we piled back into the Jeep and headed even further South on whatever random forest service roads Jason wanted towards the tiny tiny town of Plush, OR.
