72 Super Roadtrip-Coast to Coast

[outfield]

On your way south from Bend, near La Pine, if you have time, consider checking out Newberry Crater and go up to Paulina Peak. There are great views of central Oregon, East Lake and Paulina Lake.

Ok
So we don't go political on this thread
I'll, give my comments , and we can leave it with no other responses

I have friends and family that agree with
One candidate
And
Others that agree with the other candidate

Debates don't change your mind

We all focus on who we already agree with
But
I bet more people watched tonight, than in a long time

Back to the trip

We dove over Santiam pass to Bend today
Emma had told me to check out
The Blue Pool
So we gps'd it and made our way to the hills

I guess there was a fire recently, so we got diverted to a diferent
Trailhead to start our hike

Brad wasn't to excited to here from the park ranger that it was over 4mi.
Just to see a blue pool
But he declined to stay in the truck, when I said "I'm going"

A great hike through lush forest understory

[Chevyland]

There is a beauful river you walk along
The whole way

[Chevyland]

The phenomenon is when get you to the end
You don't see where all the water is coming from

There is only
This blue pool

No water fall into it or anything

I guess the water travels underground into it
And some how that also creates its blue color

It looks to be quite shallow
But I guess it is 20-30' deep in some areas

Wow this is great, my family used to own Paulina Lake Resort! We owned it in the late seventies. Beautiful place to live and visit! I forgot how many states but on a good day you could see quite a few, plus the road leading up to the resort is a fun drive!!!

Thanks for the tips
We thought about it but didn't get the earliest start
Nice visit with more family

The landscape is so different on this side of the mountain
High dessert

[Chevyland]

We did go to Crater Lake
What a perfect day to show up
Like glass out there

[Chevyland]

It was even beautiful
Along the side of the road

[Chevyland]

It too
Has the Blue Pool
Look

[Chevyland]

And is the the deepest lake in the USA
At 1943 feet
