Mystic Forest RV Park

We are in California, right off of hwy 101. Before I delv into what has been happening I'll list some stats from our visit to Crater Lake. It is the deepest lake in N America 1943 feet. It is 6 miles wide and holds 5 trillion gallons of water. There is no watershed so it gets all its volume from the 533 inches of snow that fall on it every winter. The water is so pure the park service says you can drink it and it is so clear visibility is 143 feet, which is a world record. You might have noticed I didn't post yesterday. We spent the day visiting waterfalls and we got back late and we had no cell or wifi so that's what happened. On our drive here there was a car flashing it's lights at us on a rather twisty mountain road. Turns out one side of the bent trailer hitch broke and the bike rack was dangerously dangling to one side. We had to put one bike in the car and one bike in the MP. We are not sure if this is easily fixable and even if it is we are up against the Labor Day weekend. We are here to visit some of the remaining giant Redwood trees that have been preserved in this part of California. There is a tree behind the MP that is, without a doubt, taller than any tree in SC. More tomorrow ---maybe.
