Link post: to see the images (and discuss them), go to the thread in the General/Chat section:

Geology Picture of the Week, July 17-23, 2005: Crater Lake

After I posted the original thread, I realized that one reason I thought of this (other than my trip) was the News/Current Events item, the release of the Oregon State Quarter:



TOPICS: Business/Economy; Culture/Society; Miscellaneous; News/Current Events; US: Oregon
KEYWORDS: caldera; crater; eruption; lake; mazama; oregon; quarter
And now for an impromptu bad joke:

Why are Mount Mazama and the new Oregon State quarter alike?

One dropped into a big hole, and the other will drop out of a big hole in your pocket.

(Geologists will be ROTFL at this.)

Crater Lake, for Pete's sake.
I've been everywhere.
