The day started out overcast, or smokey or both, and cool, as we left Chemult early to try to avoid heavy traffic on Hwy 97. We had to ride about 9 miles on the highway before reaching the road that leads to Crater Lake.
All of our information was that the north entrance to the park was closed. Yep, we had to detour around the park.
It wasn't looking good...
But then, after we passed the park entrance, the road headed downhill and kept going downhill practically all the way to Prospect. We rode 70 miles easily and finished early.
Along the way, we stopped at the Rogue River gorge (the headwaters of the river).
We called a number listed our map that said they offered camping and landed at a hay farm with a wonderful campground next to a river.
Those are the barns, looking across the field from where we're staying.
The couple that own the farm are very nice, offering us the use of showers while they set up a table for us at our camping spot. When we arrived a little later, there was a basket of fruit waiting for us!
