We started Father’s Day out by arguing over how the car should be packed before hitting the road. Actually not really arguing as much as filling the stereotypical male and female roles for a car trip. Spent most of the day in the car and stopped for lunch and happened to catch the end of the US-Egypt soccer game which was a pleasant surprise.
As we got closer to our destination (Crater Lake, Oregon) it became apparent that we would need to bundle up. We booked a campsite anyways among the melting snow (the lake rim is at about 7,000 ft and in one winter in the 1930’s had 70 ft of accumulated snow). Even though our license plates are California, we didn’t want to be wimpy about the below-freezing temperatures that night so we just reminded each other that we were moving to Leadville, Colorado and we had better learn to embrace the cold.
It ended up being too cold to sit around drinking wine and beer and playing the games we bought at Walmart earlier that day, so we just went to sleep. Luckily the three of us made it through the night without any frostbite or hypothermia.
