Happy New Year- Part 2

Last week I shared the blessings of being able to travel with my beloved husband of (almost officially) 30 years over our Christmas break from the university.  This week I want to share our Oregon travels.  Our goal was to see Crater Lake with snow- Ken never had, and I had only seen snow if it was still arond during my family's summer visits.  
We purchased chains for the Mini, the guy at the auto parts store in Texas does not get much call for such things, but had our order in plenty of time.  We never even tried them out-the wether was incredible, and while not the vast amount of snow we hoped for, the roads were easy to travel.  Crater Lake usually has around 50 inches of snow by Christmas- this year they had nine.

Enjoy the photos!

Union Creek and the Rogue Gorge-It looks so different in the wintertime.
