Even More from Newberry Nat'l Volcanic Monument

June 13, 2019

Yes, we found another campsite, #46.

We were all ready to leave.  Our next stop was only an hour away, so we were taking it real slow, didn't have to be out of site #6  till noon.   We made one last pass through the campground to see if anything opened up. Low and behold we found one, with an even better lake view.  Instantly our plans for the morning changed, as did the day, and ultimately, the next 3 days.   

#46 is an open site, so we could stay up to the 14 day limit.

I thought I'd start giving a more visual indication of where we are and where we've been.

Here's some pictures of the rest of our time in the Newberry Caldera...

Paulina Falls. 

A lot of stuff was named after Paulina. Who was Paulina?

Here's what I found on Wikipedia...

Paulina Lake, Paulina Creek, and Paulina Peak are named after Paulina, a Snake Indian chief who headed raiding parties against whites during the 1850s and 1860s before he was pursued and shot by settler Howard Maupin.

While walking to the falls, we saw a fellow sitting on this log and using the stump as a table.  Sure enough, there's a good signal, IF you sit right here.

Hiking a segment of the Crater Rim trail.
