Dear friends


I'm slowly catching up with the videos of my trip in 2015. This one is from the ride in Crater Lake national park in Oregon: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_FohNMmxQwo


I recommend to watch in fullscreen and 1080p if you can.
:)


It was an insanely hot day (it was close to 100F) and I was concerned about my valkyrie overheating as the radiator fan was broken, but it never had an issue (as I kept an eye in the oil dip stick thermometer).


I wished I had stayed there longer, but I was in a hurry to ride to Bend (OR), as I started the day in Port Orford (close to 300 miles ride). An approximated route (6 hours non stop, for real, more like 8-9 hours if you count lunch and refueling): https://goo.gl/maps/Bd5277NGFJQ2


I'm planning one day to be back and actually enjoy my time there, as the lake is beautiful and this part of Oregon has great landscape.


Best regards

I know Chrissy is short, but holy smokes that is a lot of snow. Great pictures Dave. I saw some snow a couple weeks ago in Colorado at about 11k feet. I don't recall where I was, but I was chasing a high point bonus somewhere not far from Steamboat Springs. It was cool to see.

I am thinking someone should organize a camping ride trip up there. Great pics always a treat any time of year up there.

I just saw a video on youtube from the National Parks gov that you can buy a ticket for a ride in a boat in the lake?
