Attack of the killer bees at Crater Lake

Attack on my camera lens, I should add.

Made it out to Crater Lake today. Absolutely gorgeous. This lake on the top of a mountain (dormant volcano, actually) was created in a crater left after the volcano's last eruption, and consists of rain water and snow only, resulting in this amazing blue lake at several 1000 feet.

Not too much to add. I am staying close to Ashland, OR tonight and it is HOT here -- 41C (106F). The heat hit me like a brick wall coming down from the mountains. On the upside, my camp site is surrounded by blackberry bushes and covered by an apple tree so I'm not worrying about breakfast.
