[QUOTE="kklor, post: 194150, member: 11878"] Mike- Congrats to your son! Yes, Spring would be my answer for your travels so that you can get the most out of it. We only have one National Park in our state and it does not open until mid June at the earliest and often times later depending on the snow pack from the following year and closes anytime from late Sept. to Oct.15 depending on incoming snow. Crater Lake usually hires for the season although sometimes the last couple of weeks may be an option as many college students start school here the 3rd week in Sept. My good son news of the day is that the college has offered him at least part time job for the entire school year so I will have a couple of quiet days per week. I think I would love to work at the NP's as well because you get to soak in the park all around the clock. In college my husband worked for the Forest Service and loved the time he did. I have not seen how much damage and how close to the forest Crater Lake sustained but Yosemite is in a world of hurt and I have experienced the aftermath with Yellowstone and it broke my heart but in time it does grow back. Hoping to head that way and into the Cascade Lakes region in a month, weather permitting. These areas are all under severe thunder/lightening storms for the next 4 days and I am praying that it comes with enough rain to put out any starts that might occur. It has been a super dry and hotter than normal Summer so everywhere is under red alert. Hope you find someplace really fun to explore soon as the park systems get to run more of a year around schedule on your side of the US. Cheers- Kathleen [/QUOTE]
