I am 66 and my spouse, Georgette, is 60.

We are planning to move from Oregon, home of Crater Lake National Park, to a lower tax or no tax state sometime in the next one to two years.

Hang on, just so I know format of the show here.

Are you going to read through the whole thing or are we going to interject at any time? No, you can interrupt me at any time and

Anyway, when that mountain caved in on itself, had its epic eruption, that was the climactic event.

Crater Lake National Park sits on land that belonged to the Klamath tribes, Klamath, Medoc, and Yahooskin band of snake people.

It is a sacred place to these people.

In the Treaty of 1864, Crater Lake should have been protected as part of the tribal land, but it wasn't.

has to be, but I guess nobody has dug down that deep.

Where does the water go? We don't know.

This is from an article called 12 Things You Didn't Know About Crater Lake National Park.

Quote, So there is a lot of water that seemingly goes unaccounted for.

It's like how I take tests.

It is Crater Lake National Park.

The estimated annual visitors is 500,000 to 700,000 visitors a year.

Wow.

Roosevelt is very important to this story though, because he was a very hardcore conservationist.

And he saw the national parks and forests as a way of preserving America's national beauty, creating Crater Lake National Park and Wind Cave National Park in 1902 and 1903 respectively.

In 1903, Teddy spent some time on a camping trip with the famed Scottish-American explorer and naturalist John Muir.

And during that camping trip, Muir expressed to Teddy something he had expressed to a number of other officials.

Yeah, it's, um, a spot called, uh, Lake West or West Lake.

Um, it's kind of, uh, I was looking on the map, it's kind of on the northwest tip of, uh, Crater Lake National Park.

It's, um, on the Crater Lake side of Highway 230.

Uh, I had, for some reason, wrote down 238, but it's Highway 230, and it's close to the Boundary Springs Trailhead, and that's a, a pretty remote trailhead that goes out, um, to the Boundary Springs that, uh, eventually feed into the creeks that become the Rogue River.

Number nine, Steven Lynn Jonas.

On July 8th, 1983, 28-year-old Crater Lake National Park worker Steven Lynn Jonas was seen in Crater Lake near Annie Springs Canyon and Crater Lake Lodge.

The witness who saw him said he appeared calm and was sitting by his car.

Just hours later though, Steven tried to drive his car off the edge of a 300-foot cliff and into Crater Lake.

Anyone with any information is asked to contact the National Park Service at 888-653-0009.

Number three, Samuel Boelke.

Eight-year-old Samuel Sammy Boelke and his father, Kenneth, decided to enter the Crater Lake National Park together for a hike.

Sammy was autistic and had aversions to bright lights and loud noises and found that the great outdoors was the perfect place to relax and explore nature in peace.
