More on the Camping Trip ...

I mentioned to Tasha that Crater Lake is a bit like Yosemite in that you're so much in awe that you keep snapping the shutter (or, on many occasions, someone else does)!
The climb to the top of Mt. Scott was interesting in that there is an operational Forest Service fire lookout on the peak; however, it is closed to the public even though a ranger was on duty inside while we were there.

A side-benefit of the trip was the chance to see a couple of beautiful So. Oregon waterfalls on the road from Roseburg to Diamond Lake. We hiked a short distance to see Susan Creek Falls on the drive to Diamond Lake and also had hoped to see Toketee Falls which, according to the pictures, is much more impressive. However, when we stopped at a Ranger Station to inquire, we were told that severe storms and mudslides had completely wiped-out the trail and made the approach to Toketee Falls virtually impossible. However, on the way home on Sunday we were impressed with Watson Falls (right) --apparently little-visited. - rw
