Day 27 - Yreka, California to Coos Bay, Oregon

Scrub a dub dub, there's a Harley in the tub. After leaving Yreka, the guys found a carwash. A clean bike just rides better. Eleven days and almost 2,300 miles later, the guys put California in their rearview mirrors and forge on to Oregon.
Mike, Stu, Fred and Ron at the entrance of Crater Lake National Park. The park is located in Crater Lake, Oregon.
The elevation at Crater Lake is 7500 feet. The park, just recently opened, was still covered in snow. The pavement was clear, except for some water running across it from the melting snow.
The first view of Crater Lake. This lake was formed in an old volcano. The water IS that blue.
This shows how much snow is still piled up. The edge of the road is visible at the bottom left of this image.

A tiny little island, Wizards Island to be exact, in the middle of Crater Lake.

Ron pulled over to put the chains on his Harley.

Mike, Ron, Fred and Stu stand in front of Crater Lake. They were overwhelmed by the beauty of this lake's water.

After leaving Crater Lake National Park the boys continued to head north towards the 3rd corner. Areas of clear cut logging are widely seen now. Sections of new pine growth, in variable stages, are peppered throughout the mountain sides. This is timber harvesting country. The guys found this extremely interesting.

The total miles ridden today - 325.
