Day 23, As It Is Happening, Donner break somewhere in Oregon, or is it California,

120 miles down, 130 to go.

Bitter cold this morning at Crater Lake this morning, below freezing. You have two choices to break camp when that happens: speed up or slow down. I opted for the latter and got off at 10. These trips are nothing more than a series of tradeoffs.

Absolutely beautiful full moon last night, peaking through the forest trees and reflecting on Lake Lemolo. It was nothing short of magnetic. I almost felt like getting into the Defender and heading for it. I wondered if the Donner would make it that far.

On the road to Death Valley, still two days away. I opted for the back-roads route - more interesting. It's pleasant driving through these small towns and seeing how other people live their lives.
