man we all looked awesome ! I just love the attention we got when that line of awesome AVs rolled by. Interesting how we upstaged Crater Lake  :laugh:
 
We arrived in the motel parking lot at 5 AM and after a quick change of clothes and clean up in the Pearl  :laugh: we were greated by Cliff and we went to wash the trucks.
Here we are heading out to Fridays planned run to Lava Beds Ntl. Monument.

AWESUM VID Aussie!

For those of you NOT there - let's put it this way - 75 degrees, ABSOLUTELY PERFECTLY CLEAR BLUE SKIES. 4 feet of snow!  You could not ask for a better day.

And Yes, I did see The Black Pearl in SNOW!  (I'm going to have to look to see if I've got proof, but I do have witnesses!)

Give me a while to resize/upload all mine.

my wife and I didn't go on the lava cave cruise, as I wanted to go and do some fishing.  Missed the timing on the fish, but wanted to show some cool pictures that others didn't get to see.  Beautiful country this neck of the woods is.

pictures from Satuday cruise up to Crater Lake.  This was my first long distance, double digit Av, lead cruise.  It was awesome.  Thanks to I CHNGE for doing an awesome job at the tail.  We made a great pair.  Can't wait to do it again with you Cliff.

85 degree day, not a cloud in the sky.  14 truck carAVan, all the way up to 7900 feet.  Strobes blinkin, flags flyin, trainn hornns blowin!!  It was damn cool being in the front. (y)

on with it....

1st stop after driving 68 miles from Klamath Falls.  This was a cliff with a river down below.  It had to be 200ft down, couldn't even see the river.  Super cool view

These next pictures are at the top of the lake, all around.  We stopped at the lodge for lunch.  Pissed off some RVers cause we took all the RV spots.  Dobule stacked and still couldn't fit them all.

These are on the drive up to the highest peak.  We couldn't complete the drive around the rim, due to the road being closed on the East side.  Still had snow covering the road.  We missed our turn, but made up for it with some awesome turn around pics that will be posted later by someone else. 

Quote of the GTG
I CHNGE- its not an official cruise until you get lost or have to turn around

this was a cool spot and lots of good pics will come of this.  People where on top of the hill you see taking pictures down.  This is also where my camera died

Well, where your camera died is about the same place my wife decided to take out her's and start taking pics.

Go to the Photobucket Album here.

Okay, here's a peek:
