Tried walking the whole campground but had to concede to the mozies. We had a slow breakfast and did lots of reading. Silence! We drove up and around the east side of the crater. There are great views out to the south and east. The size of Crater Lake is astounding. At one point one is able to hike down to the waters edge. It was refreshing to soak ones feet in the ice cold, clear water. The water clarity is the reason the lake is such a wonderful blue. There is a tremendous amount of pollen floating on the water surface. It collects together to form floating masses. The heat of the afternoon gave us a welcome break from the mozies. By evening they had returned, so Rob and I cut another walk short to take refuge in the camper. We resorted to making s’mores in the oven.
