Mazama Campground - Crater Lake

 We spent three wonderful days at Mazama Campground. It was just before Labor Day but the Campground was not full. It was very dry and warm. Nights were cold but the mid-seventies daytime temps evened things out. It was very relaxing.

Circle C Ranch - Beiber, CA

Picnic stop on our way to Beiber


Circle "C" Ranch

Our first stop was in Northern California to Beiber where Laurie and Wendy have their ranch. Robert, their son,  was visiting. We took a long walk around the ranch property which is about 170 acres. After the walk, we feasted on barbecued chicken, Wendy's potato salad and Laurie's lemon cake. Delish!
