crater lake

                                                              Crater Lake

Summary 
Crater Lake is a Caldera Lake located in the south-central region of the U.S. state of Oregon. It is the main feature of Crater Lake National Park and famous for its deep blue color and water clarity. The lake partly fills a nearly 2,148-foot (655 m) deep caldera that was formed around 7,700 (± 150) years ago by the collapse of the volcano Mount Mazama There are no rivers flowing into or out of the lake; the evaporation is compensated for by rain and snowfall at a rate such that the total amount of water is replaced every 250 years.


Journey
  Out of sheer boredom in USA, I planned to visit Pooja in oragon. She was happy to see me as I was visiting here for the first time after her wedding. She planned for outing to see placed around. 
I was picked up from airport directly and we headed to this lake. I had little idea about the lake and few round of driving Vaibhav passed the baton to pooja. 

Little wonder may be right name to describe pooja and with that car she was looking tiny. 
Pooja and car
We had lots to talk from bangalore and our common friends. And suddenly there was a mishap. we had hit stag. No idea where it came from or where did it go. But certainly there was big damage to car. 
We repaired the broken bumper with tapes
At night 1.00Pm we were on middle of road analyzing the damages..It took us some time to get back to normal. We reached the destination at around early morning. they had booked nice cottage for us.

After a breakfast we headed to crate lake which is about 30 mins drive from here. It was cold and day old snow fall was evident. 
AT crater lake 
Place is unique and had lot to see. What I like about USA is their taste to project the history and monuments. 
It was bright and sunny but chilly cold due to fresh snow. 
we returned back to cottage after few hours of stint.

Cottage had its own canoe's with life jackets. Without wasting any more time we pulled one boat in water and  rowed it till we were tired. It was sheer rough ride on calm waters.  
After about 3hours of fun we finally headed back to the base.
