  1. Nice place to visit. Pretty overrun by tourists, though. We camped there late one year, pitched the tent on snow.

    1. Mt. Mazama is now called Mt. McLaughlin. It is not Crater Lake. Trust me. I climbed it when I was 60 years younger.
      You must not be from around here, or you are AI. Totally stupid.

    2. Mt. Mazama is miles away from Mt. McLaughlin.

    3. Crater Lake is located in the caldera left over when Mt. Mazama blew up. Originally Mt. Mazama was a massive mountain.

    4. Exactly. Thanks. I think Sarthurk might be AI.

    5. Even Wikipedia confirms Mount Mazama caldera as being the origin point of Crater Lake. I remember reading a National Geographic article from back in the late 70s about it. I specifically remember an illustration showing animals in Nebraska with the cloud of volcanic gas/debris approaching from Mount Mazama. I was always taken as I lived in CA and knew of Crater Lake.

  3. Used to work for PacifiCorp at their hydro plants nearby. We would visit there several times a year and take friends and family there when they'd come to visit.

  5. i remember riding there one time and while i was off the bike this guy wandered over to it and while he was looking at it said in a low voice 'Harley Davidson' with a heavy and thick Russian accent. I still find my brain playing it back. tried to communicate some but it wasn't gonna happen. cool little exchange, though.

  6. Favorite F-4 photo is of a pair flying kinda low near Wizard Island. Awesome photo/painting. Rumor has it that the pilots got their asses chewed.

  7. Is that over 2000ft deep? Hard to read the numbers. Must go to the bottom of the volcano.

  8. Quote: "Mount McLoughlin is a dormant steep-sided stratovolcano, or composite volcano, in the Cascade Range of southern Oregon, United States. Located in the Sky Lakes Wilderness, it is one of the volcanic peaks in the Cascade Volcanic Arc, within the High Cascades sector. A prominent landmark for the Rogue River Valley, the mountain is north of Mount Shasta, and south-southwest of Crater Lake." [Continued in Wikipedia]
