Part 2 of Crater Lake, Oregon – a quick Fourth of July trip to a beautiful national park.  Saturday we again hiked down to the lake and hopped on the boat to take us to Wizard Island!  A few of us hiked to the crater at the top of Wizard Island, while the rest of us hiked to the other side of the island for some fly fishing, a newly acquired (and quite tricky) hobby of ours. We caught rainbow trout and brown trout.

Got One! [My standard excitement/confusion/incredulity when I actually catch one]

What did we ever do before Go Pros?!

After a day of fishing, we ended the night at the restaurant at Crater Lake Lodge, which is pretty tasty [thankfully, since it’s really one of the only options for dinner in the park].

A quick pack up on Sunday and we headed back to the Bay Area.  Success for a fun-filled 4th of July weekend – National Park [check], delicious treats [check], friends [check], ‘Merica [check]!
