"Crater Lake 1" [Oregon '92].

by Rico

I have published 3 articles on southern Oregon this week, but suddenly remembered that we visited Crater Lake with a bunch of friends back in 1992. And so, I'll publish that visit with this article, sort of remembering that fun trip with our friends who most are now gone.

Hope you like the pics & this article. Cheers!:)
