| | A Volcano to Volcano Journey. Between Lake Almanor’s southern reign in California and Crater Lake’s northern tip in Oregon, lies a region steeped in a rich history of fire and ice.

| 03/22/2012 | Crater Lake |
| | Few forget their first glimpse of Crater Lake on a clear summer’s day—21 square miles of water so intensely blue it looks like ink, ringed by cliffs towering up to 2,000 feet above. The mountain bluebird, Indian legend says, was gray before dipping into the waters. |

| 03/08/2012 | Crater Lake National Park |

| 02/22/2012 | For 41 Years, Town Cheers Danny’s Boys |
| | KLAMATH FALLS, Ore. — Danny Miles
is a coach.
For four decades, he has coached
here, mostly basketball, through the
collapse of the logging industry and
the Klamath Basin water crisis, for
more wins than all but three coaches
at any level in the history of college
basketball. He turned down other
jobs, at bigger schools, in larger
towns. He was fired and rehired,
divorced and remarried, thought he
had prostate cancer and found out he
did not. At the Oregon Institute of
Technology, where they slashed his
athletics budget so low at times he
almost quit, they also named the
basketball court after him. |

| 02/17/2012 | Scenic Stash |
| | At Crater Lake National Park, where snow covers the landscape in pastel shades of white and mountain peaks tower above a deep, cobalt-blue lake, the place is so silent the only sound is your own breath.
It's a wild place where cougars, lynx and pine martens hunt rabbits, voles and squirrels. Walking through this world in winter is almost surreal.

But getting there is well worth your effort!
