This is a view of Mount Bachelor from Sparks Lake, from a hike we took last summer. Talk about The Perfect Day - we hiked and picnicked with dear family friends, and also our French exchange student. Of course, our French guest had to mention the Alps. Mount Bachelor is part of the Cascade Range, and is the youngest prominent volcano in the Three Sisters (three volcanic peaks) area. Apparently, none of the three sisters could win over the bachelor.
Anyway, I had to give you something pretty to look at while I make some public service announcements. Get your submissions in for the Christian Carnival by tonight, Midnight ET. Submit here, and also, Parableman has further information on the carnival. Publishing right here at Diary of 1 tomorrow.
This is the same area right? The one that dries up till just the rivers remain in summer.

SJ, yes, it’s the same spot!! We were lucky to be there before it dried up! A month later, and the lake would be gone. A very interesting geological feature!
Love the pics. Theres really no place like oregon is there? I wish I had a neat homeschool group like that!

Mrs. Darling, so true, there’s no place like Oregon! Well, this isn’t actually a “homeschool group,” just family friends who have lots of kids and also homeschool - this is really just two families. But we do get together with this family more than any other (which isn’t as often as I’d like).

Beautiful photograph and children.
Oh wow! We’ve been up here several times, but never when it was flooded. Now we know why it’s always so gorgeously covered in flowers.
