    Hey Blazer freaks--I'm coming to Oregon on Labor Day weekend and taking a week-long tour of the state with my girlfriend. She's never been to Oregon, so I'm going to show her all my favorite spots--Mt. Hood, Columbia Gorge, Odell Lake, Crater Lake, the Coast, and of course Portland. I can't wait!

    We were going to stay one night at the Crater Lake Lodge, but it's fully booked for the month of September. Anyone know any nice places to stay in the Crater Lake area?

    Exactly what I was going to say. But I'm biased, since I was born there.

    Well, we're going to a wedding in Prineville. Does that count?

    We'll be camping and fishing at Diamond Lake next week. Got a nice spot on the water.

    I've had great luck with keeper sized Rainbows at Paulina and East Lakes. Never knew there was kokanee in there, it was a long time ago though.

    That was the camping trip from hell at East Lake. Bears coming to our camp at night, getting hooked in the ear by my cousin, serial arsonist lighting the nearby woods on fire and having to evacuate and then the last night it starts snowing in the middle of August. It was nuts.
