Here he found a Annette Funacello Hawaiian album. Dan plays records every day. The next time we stopped we saw this blue Tepco bowl with a HUGE price. Dan wanted the bowl but we went back to the car without it. I told him go back it doesn't hurt to make a low offer. I waited in the car. He returned with a huge smile and the bowl. The owner accepted his offer. On Interstate 5 we came upon our favorite grey volcano. Then we got to Mt. Shasta with it's peak in the clouds. We arrived at our family reunion and I presented my great-niece with the blonde Hot Tub Hula Girl she had requested a year ago. After the one day reunion we headed off to Crater Lake. Our first stop was at the Rouge River Gorge. We had been checking the internet for Crater Lake and it was supposed to be sunny. Well it was for about 5 minutes. I've only driven in snow 3 times before and had not touched any in years so I had to stop and build a snow tiki. It was so beautiful. I drove very slowly. There weren't many other visitors. The trees would drop snow every once in a while and once on our windshield. That was fun. As the elevation went up the conditions got worse. "Dan good thing I told you to put the chains in the car." Oh Oh guess who forgot? We began to wonder if we would make it over and out of the park. We also wondered if we would be able to see the lake. The snow/ice in the center of my lane was hitting the underside of the car. We finally saw the turn out for Crater Lake and pulled into the parking lot. We were so happy. We could see the lake. We could also see the island in the lake. It was 30 degrees out so we didn't stay long. We were still concerned as to whether or not we could get out of the park to continue our journey. We got to the North gate without going off the road. It was so worth the drive and much more exciting with the snow. We made our last stop at the doghouse. You know, one side for setters and one side for pointers!!! More tomorrow. Cheers, Wendy [ Edited by: danlovestikis 2016-06-30 09:01 ]
