Oregon with Gail, October 2002
Each year I visit my daughter Gail at her home in Seattle, Washington, over the Columbus Day weekend. This year we decided to range a bit, to Crater Lake National Park in southwestern Oregon. I had visited there very briefly many years ago, and had wanted to return. That desire was whetted when Jingua Guo and I flew over it last July as we were returning from a visit to friends in Northern California (whose photos are next in line to be posted). I traveled to Medford, Oregon, on Friday, October 11. Saturday we visited Crater Lake. Sunday we explored the Newberry National Volcanic Monument within the Deschutes National Forest, new territory for both of us. Monday I returned home. I took three 36-exposure rolls of pictures on the now-rare Kodak Royal ASA-100 film graciously supplied to me by Norman and Deedra Durocher of Kingstown Camera in Wakefield, Rhode Island. Thanks to them both! I shot nearly everything at 19 mm. The weather on both days was great, and the pictures came out extremely well. Enjoy!
