The Further Adventures

Back by popular demand!
Another 2 nights in the tent has kept me away from any wifi access....and with some extra time up my sleeves now her in Medford, Oregon,  I've put together a range of images since we left Yosemite. 
First stop was heading further north in California up to Lassen Volcanic National Park. At this time of the year access is very limited because of the snow pack, so we walked a mile or so up the main park road....on about 3 metres of snow!
After leaving there we spent the night at a very nice campground - Burney Falls. As you all know, waterfalls are one of my favourite subjects, and I had been looking forward to this visit. 
The next morning we headed up to Lava Beds National Monument which features many different caves to explore.
Later that day we ventured across the border into Oregon for a visit to the amazing Crater Lake National Park. ThIs image, and the many others I captured, made the sub zero temperature overnight in the campground, and the very early start to get to the park, all worthwhile. And later in the day the temperature rose to about 35!
Next, heading south again, an extra bonus was the Rogue River canyon area....a location we fell upon without any prior knowledge.
Another nice thing happened today - We have been dropping in on the Visitor Centres in all the National Parks with a small advertising postcard about the upcoming National Parks book, and response has been very positive. It's not my job to sell the book, that's what the publisher and distributor will do, however today at Crater Lake we were told the book had already been approved and they we starting to look for where on the shelves they would put it!. And earlier on in the trip at Joshua Tree NP, the lady we spoke to made mention of coming back at a later date for a book signing - all exciting stuff!
