Closed...Even For Mike

We tried to go to Crater Lake NP, but it was closed (due to covid) even for Mike.  We drove up there, hoping that we could just sneak in, but they had two police cars at a barricade.  Seems a little overboard.  But, I guess it was necessary because Mike would have blown through that barricade if there hadn't been police there.  

So, we stopped to play in the snow for a minute and then went back down to the nearest town to see what we could see.

                                       

                                        

Mike kept checking out the river along the way and exclaiming about how pretty it was and wishing that he had a pole.  We still had licenses, so he pulled over at a big truck stop and they happened to have fishing poles.  He bought one and we found a beautiful place to fish.

The water was unreal.  So clear and beautiful.

We were also near an outdoor logging museum, so it was fun to see how the equipment changed through the years.

Jake donned his swim suit because earlier, Mike had told him he'd pay him 12 dollars to jump off the bridge into that beautiful clear water.  

He did it!  Then, I told him I wanted pictures, so he did it again.

What a good boy. :)
