Second large painting for Crater Lake Institute of the lake, 2010. It features whitebark pines, an endangered tree most know as beautiful and iconic to this place.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Just an update about a side project of mine.<\/strong><\/a> Oregon’s Crater Lake National Park has held a fascination for me for a very long time. I first came over the Rim in the early 1970’s and saw that stunning view of the lake – and have returned many times since. Then in 1998 Nancy and I  produced a nature guide of the park and I got the chance to get to know the place on a deeper level. There’s a simple clean beauty here that stays with me. If you’ve been there, you know what I mean!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then in 2016, I became the website guy for Crater Lake Institute, a group dedicated to the back story of the park. With decades of collective history, these guys had a website that needed help, and I had the skills to fix it.  Today, CLI<\/a> averages almost a million hits a month in summer, has 5000 images and 4000 pages of anything you’d ever want to know about the park. It’s a handful to maintain, I’m telling you, but it’s also taught me a lot about the place. We’ve partnered with REI’s hiking Hiking Project to share our trail knowledge and we hear the park staff regularly stops in to find stuff. It’s been a fun project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
