Wife and I went for a drive today. She is handicapped, almost in a wheel chair, but can still use a stroller and slowly get around. It was raining at home, so I ask her if she'd like to go for a drive up the river and eat lunch at Diamond Lake Resort, which is about 80 miles up from home, to the east of us, in the Cascade Mountains. The road goes up the North Umpqua river most of the way, and the lake is located at about 5000 feet elevation. I thought there would be more fall color, but there wasn't that much. About 40 miles up the hiway the rain stopped, so it was a nice drive.
This is a view of the North Umpqua river.
Lunch was at the Diamond Lake Resort.
They have a man sized fireplace, and burn 4 foot lodge pole pine logs.
This is the view out the window while were eating lunch.
Across the lake with Mount Bailey in the background. Diamond Lake isn't very far from Crater Lake, and Mount Baily is a younger volcano than Mt. Mazama, (Crater Lake) which dates back about 6000 years.
Mount Thielsen from Diamond Lake. This peak is North East of the lake. A few years ago my son and I packed in to the base of that mountain and spent several days hunting deer. Seen quite a few, but no legal bucks, but it was a fun trip. We camped on Thielsen creek a couple of hundred yards below the snow bank the stream comes out of. That was sure some cold water.
