White Water Rafting, Crater Lake, and Wildlife Safari With Erin!

We went rafting on the McKenzie River with our guide, Kevin. Now, it was a very cold day for rafting, and I was sitting up front for most of it. I got soaked, but I was glad for the wet suit, booties, and jackets.

 We visited the 9th deepest lake in the the world. It took it 400,000 years to form, and it blew up in 2 days. It was formed by a volcano erupting, and it collapsed. It created a giant bowl. That bowl filled with rainwater and melted snow. That is why it is one of the cleanest lakes in the world.

Beautiful, isn't it? Thats real water. I mean, wow! This thing erupted about 7,700 years ago. I am amazed at what we have found there. We listened to a ranger talk, watched videos, and read way too many notes to write. You'd be asleep by the end of it, although it was fascinating.

We went to a Wildlife Safari the next day.  Now, we saw tigers, cheetahs, elephants, giraffes, lions, a rhino, bison, deer, flamingos, and more!

We saw snakes, alligators, birds, monkeys, and extravagant creatures. Some were creepy, and some were cute.  

Overall it was an incredible sight to see these three places in such a short time, but that's the end of the blog so I hope you enjoyed it and stay tuned for more blogging with Erin!
