Crater Lake – The Everlasting Blue


Hello again, friends!  Here I am with a little post regarding my inexplicable road trip to Southeast Oregon, where I had good times, good times with three of my favorite people in the whole wide world. Adventuring.  Discovering.  Shopping.  Side-splittingly funny rounds of Mad Libs.  Singing a beautiful High Mass at a hermitage in the middle of nowhere.  Food, friends, and more fun than I could have ever imagined.

Smiles.

I wish I had more time to chronicle the events of this wonderful weekend and wander off into the wilderness of intricacy and expression, but alas, I do not, so I will focus my thoughts today on my experience viewing Crater Lake for the first time in my life.


What can I say?  This is so very difficult to write about.  There are simply no words.  Viewing Crater Lake is one of the moments that take your breath away.  No poem, no prose could do this natural phenomenon justice.  All I can say is that everybody needs, not should, needs to visit Crater Lake National Park at least once.  No bucket list is complete without it!  It’s stunning.  Gorgeous.  Mystifying.  Inspiring.  Pearl sapphire blue.




 
I’m incredibly eager to visit again in the summer.  I can’t imagine how the water could possibly be any bluer, but I will definitely be back in a few months.

It was truly a day—no, a weekend—to remember.  It broke through the monotony of my student/teacher life, and provided me with an opportunity to “stop and stare.”  I feel rejuvenated, not only in body and mind, but soul as well.





Finals week, bring it.  You’re going to be pwned like a WoW noob.  (lol)

…Keep calm and carry on! ^_^
