Beacon Rocc: scirocco.org PNW cruise Cincy weekend?



Hmmm... do you mean "Crater Lake" maybe? It's about 2 hours drive roughly 
southeast of Eugene, Oregon.
    Another possibility is Hwy 242, sort of a short cut from Eugene to Bend. 
It crosses a large black lava field, I seem to remember a "Black" something 
there...

P.S. I have nieces. It ain't so bad... but the oldest is now 12, hitting 
puberty with a bat. Sometimes I think the only thing goofier than a teenage 
girl is two of 'em together.
