Crater Lake...

Well, we fianally got the car problems sorted out. A new radiator, after the water pump, thermostat, idler pully, and Fan didnt solve the overheating issue. Cant complain too loud, since we have 142,000 miles on it now, and only been in the shop twice....(Both times since the first of the year!). Still beats a car payment...

So after we test drove the car over to John Day, Oregon, in 100 degree weather to attend the Solar Fair, where I ran into two guys from the renewable energy program at San Juan College, we decided to head for the hills where it is a bit cooler. So we moved down to Crater Lake (Oregon's ONLY national park...) and are luxuriating in the cool air. It was 42 last night, good sleeping weather! Ahhhhhhh! Next week it's over to Roseburg, to check in with my brother, who I helped to move there from Las Vegas (The Nevada one, not the New Mexico one..) in May. Seems he is not missing the 3 digit temperatures this summer....
