Overview

Three week Airstream Trip in Central Oregon. We actually got a 5 night reservation to camp at Crater Lake National Park in late August, and scheduled the rest of the trip around that, including camping with Friends, twice!

Fossil, Oregon in the high desert
Culver, Oregon
Manzanita Lake Campground at Crater Lake National Park

We did a lot of touring around Cascade Locks on the Columbia Gorge, and camped a couple of days with Gail’s friends, Gaye-T & Sandra-S. In fact, Sandra was our first overnight guest in Lizzy. Touring, much with Gaye & Sandra, included:

The stay at Fossil, was all about visiting all 3 units of the John Day Fossil Beds NM, but driving around was awesome, too, and we discovered the Fossil Museum. We stopped a couple of nights at Culver, OR, where we hiked and hung out Palisades Cove State Park. That was part way to Crater Lake NP. More camping with friends, as Michael-D & Kathy joined us there for 2 days. We got in a lot of Hiking the whole trip (except our last stop, in Salem, OR, where we took a day to buy new phones).
