Lost Creek Campground

September 26 - once again the weather is not looking good along the coast, so once again we head inland, chasing the sun.  Today we left the shores for Crater Lake National Park.  Our drive is approx 6 hrs, slightly prolonged by some road construction.  When we finally arrived at the registration booth we were somewhat surprised to learn that the main campground was closed for the season, as they prepare for snow at this time of year - seriously??!!??

Thankfully, there is another campground, but it only has 13 sites!!!

So now our new real-life example of assertion (borderline aggression) is Nancy directing Dave past other cars, practically through trees and strategically placed guard rails to get the last of the campsites at Lost Creek Campground.  Due to the newness of our vehicle, "site grabbing" is not a full contact sport, but it's close (unlike getting the last washer at the Laundromat, where it's "game on"!!!).

... and speaking of brave - I would like it on the record that we woke up yesterday morning to minus 1 C / 30 F - BELOW FRIKKIN FREEZING!!!!  Poor Guinness - he's not used to breaking through ice to get to his water.

I am now the Camping Queen (self appointed, of course).
