After Turning Off Of US-97, Looking South Along A City Street.
…The Eastern USA Cultural Influence Spreads West To Oregon.
…“It’s hot now, a West Coast sticky hotness which after the Western Desert hotness is very depressing. Really, this is just transported East, all of this scene, and I’d like to get to the ocean where it’s cool as soon as possible.“ (Cont. Next)
Entering Klamath Falls, OR. I have memories of when I traveled this way in Winter of ‘98. I remember how beastly hot the western mid pm sun became and that there was a three lane highway. I remember seeing, through the trees, the glare of the hot late afternoon sun, reflected from the lake. Amongst the trees were rundown, small unkempt beach type homes along the lake front. The beastly heat exaggerated the amount of time it took, at 55 mph, to pass the lake. I was surprised how big the lake was in this dry desert region. My trip by Klamath Lake was several days after a Workshop Course in Portland, OR, 15 Feb 1989.
… New topic: There was once a Klamath Falls on the so called Link River that connected Upper Klamath Lake to lower Klamath Lake. The falls have since been covered by water. Was this, perhaps, a dam raising Lower Klamath Lake which perhaps raised the level of both lakes as well as covering the falls?
