Trip to little Crater Lake, near Susanville, to check out the aspens and do a little walking around in the mountain air

Rolling down to the shore.  There's a sweet little campground right there.  It would be a fine place to watch the first snow of the year come down.

 

Five miles of dirt road into the lake

There are some nice trout in these waters, none of which I caught (but soon).
