When Travis dug his trench for running 3” conduit for power he must of hit his septic line to the tank as septic the black water from the trailer was coming out of the ground when he drained it. Dug it up to see a chunk of pipe has gone. We were going to Klamath Falls anyhow to get materials so just one more thing to get.

Long day. First tile job I’ve ever done. So rewarding. Project Snowball❄️ and the Crater Lake vacation property have been such great projects.
 
So this is where your getaway property updates went! The other thread you had for it died off and I was beginning to think I wasn't going to see anymore of it!
 
Friday morning worked hard to finish the shower as family and friends were coming later in the day to camp for Father’s Day weekend.
Decided to make a pocket to hold shampoo and soap. Used the window middle grid line as a level for the wall height on the shower wall. I liked having one upper row of windows to help let natural light into the shower.

Saturday went to Diamond Lake and biked the 12 miles around the lake with the family.

Later that after noon went on a hike to the Pinnacles. Old historic east entrance to Crater Lake National Park now closed.

Travis swinging Reload. Travis setup 17 woodpiles to burn on his lot just for fun as we played games in the middle.

Sunday we decided to hike the Upper Rogue River from Boundary Spring to the bridge on FSR 6530. Almost 9 miles with over 1,000 elevation loss. Took us 6.5 hours navigating a nearly non existent trail after a past wildfire. The upper tail follows the steep canyon wall then dives into the old growth canyon to remote Rough Rider Falls and a smaller unnamed waterfall.

Monday we went up to Crater Lake via the south entrance because the north entrance was still closed due to deep snow. Stopped and checked out Annie Falls in beautiful weather. From there it quickly went to winter.

Yesterday was the annual Tilly Jane Work day to keep up and maintain the historic A-Frame and Guard Station. This sits on the NE Shoulder of Mt. Hood just below the timberline.

Yesterday drove up to Crater Lake to see the Ring of Fire eclipse. Really a lot of clouds so we were not sure if it’d even be seen at all.

The window for the eclipse was a small window at just under 4 minutes and 30 seconds. But as the moment drew near a gap in the clouds developed and the eclipse appeared.
