Today was the lava beds drive: first was Lassen, then Medicine Lake Road, and eventually Modoc Scenic Byway/ Lava bed National Monument. There are lava tubes that become caves, and there was a spelunking group ready to explore. Shoes must be cleaned in advance so the cave bats do not get white nose syndrome, a fungal disease. We stopped in Klamath Falls for fuel, dog park and ice cream. Across the street from ice cream was a store called Poppy! The original intention was for me to get a haircut at Great Clips. You can get on the waiting list in advance. Usually takes 20 minutes. At this one, my wait was 206 minutes. Yikes. We moved on.
We are camped at Crater Lake for 2 nights, Mazama Campground, named after the mountain that collapsed and became a cauldron which became the lake.
