The water looks so blue--like it's fake.

Back in the mid 90's someone turned me on to that lake as a point of interest. Since then, I always wanted to see it in person. It looks airbrushed in photos. But that's exactly what it looks like in real life. Clarity is up to 150' at times and it's nearly 2000' deep. Rain water and snow melt are the only two things that keep the lake fed. And it continually maintains it's depth within 16' since it's creation. It is one of the cleanest and deepest lakes on the planet, if I understand correctly.

We did not go see Multnomah Falls.
But we did spend (2) days in Crater Lake. Day two we toured the lake by boat.

No, actually it was all part of a 2-week long RV road trip we embarked on. We got on route 66 in St. Louis, MO and ended in Crater Lake, OR. After 2 days of Crater Lake, my wife and I hopped on a plane and flew back home. Friends we were with continued the trip back east to NY in the RV from there.

If you came across the state of Oregon, I wonder if you heard of and stopped at a place called "Cowboy Dinner Tree". It is in Christmas Valley. You can google it for more info. Great food and has served lots of celebrities. I went there one time, while on a hunting trip, and Earnest Borgnine was there in his big RV. He bought dinner for everyone. Sam Elliot is known for popping in there. Sam lives close to the area in a town called Brownsville.

By area, I mean close to the Eugene area, in Western Oregon.

Hi friends!

New to the forum here. Still snooping around and looking at forums on parasitic battery draws. Here's to joining forums out of necessity. Lol.

2004 Denali, about 270k. 1/2 ton shorty. Just bought it from a friend a week ago. It's been in his family since new. So kind of a one owner. It's pretty original. Just worn. Interior has been manhandled by toddlers. Anyway, wanted to post here to show off my $450 ride!

Currently sleuthing these issues:
-Major front driver side inner tire wear
-HVAC heat stuck on high heat... can't seem to shut it off lol
-Parasitic battery drain--3.4A draw!
-Quarter stuck in rear cupholder...
-Leaking sunroof--currently flex-seal taped!
-University of Washington sticker in rear window

Hello from another newbie! I had a similar battery draw problem, which turned out to be the glove box light. Couldn't see it when it was on. Hope this helps
