Crater Lake Adventure
Crater Lake was formed from a violent volcanic past of Mount Mazama 7700 years ago. What was left after the mountain collapsed was a steaming caldera that has taken centuries of snow and rain to create what you can find today, a lake in the purest form. The picturesque lake with its deep blue color has views no other place on earth offers.
Crater Lake National Park remains open year-round offering many activities. Weather is not always predictable so it plays a dramatic role when planning a trip to Crater Lake. Winter snow usually starts in October and most places still have snow until June the following year. The snow-covered wilderness receives on average of 533 inches of snow annually. All roads are closed during the winter besides two, Highway 62 and the Road to the Rim. Summer season is short and sweet it’s usually warm and dry with cool nights.
Popular year-round activities include camping, hiking and fishing. Camping areas close by early October but with a permit you are able to camp in the back-country. This is best left to a great outdoors man. Hiking trails cover more than 90 miles and the hikers get the most magnificent views of the lake. No fishing license is required and fishing year-round is allowed when weather permits just stay inside the boundaries of the park. Fishing is abundant with the favorites being Rainbow Trout and Kokanee Salmon.
There is no need for certified scuba divers to go to an ocean to dive, they can do it at Crater Lake for free with a permit. The cool, clear water holds a breathtaking adventure.
Volcano Boat Cruises offers a relaxing cruise traveling counter-clockwise around the perimeter of Crater Lake. A magnificent perspective of the lake is a photographer’s dream. There is a small downsize, a 45 minute strenuous hike on a 1.1 mile trail with a drop of approximately 700-feet.
For hundreds of years people has been inspired by Crater Lakes for its beauty and history. It’s a reminisce of the past looking tranquil and untouched by man. Tim at www.allpro.com
Read MoreVacations in Europe
Europe, for such a small continent, is host to a large variety of countries and cultures. This means that there is a lot to be visited in the continent, and usually little vacation time to do so. When people ask us about visiting Europe, we often recommend that they choose a specific country or set of countries that are nearby. For example, if you’re planning a visit to Europe and you feel like you definitely need to see England, than limit your trip to the UK and the British Islands – perhaps extending it to the nearby coast of France, depending on how much time you have. This will allow you to fully enjoy the area and all it has to offer, perhaps even finding a good car hire UK company and driving around, really taking in the scenery.
If you want to visit a set of countries, make sure that they are not only close by one another, but also that there is a good transportation network between them. Eastern European countries may be very close together, but in some cases the roads and railroads system are really bad, so you can’t get around too well. Plus there are countries, like Greece or Italy, that just deserve a trip dedicated exclusively to them.

Holiday choices
We would all like to have luscious holidays where we spared no expense. But this isn’t the reality for most of us, so we have to prioritize. And in order to know how and what to prioritize, we must first take a good look at what the people in our party want and their needs. For example, if you’re travelling with a group of adults, a cheap hotel or even a hostel room might be all you need. In hostels there’s often the issue of having many people to a room, but if they’re all your friends you shouldn’t have much of a problem with that scenario. But if you’re travelling with children or elderly, than you should probably pay more importance to accommodation. If the children are really small and still need to have food regularly prepared for them, you might even consider renting a holiday apartment.
Naturally, the price that you are willing to pay for accommodation will always dictate where you can go. Plane tickets may cost the same to go to Greece or to Ibiza, but accommodation will probably be much cheaper in a relatively hidden Grecian island than in the world’s party capital, just as an example.

The new feature-length documentary from Relentless Energy Drink, ‘Lives of the Artists: Follow Me Down’ explores a theme that anyone driven by some immeasurable passion will recognise — that there are no easy rides in life.
Enter the twisted and unpredictable realm of intense personal obsession and heroic artistic pursuit as we journey to the ends of the earth for the second chapter in our award-winning cinematic adventure, Lives of the Artists.
Featuring James Lavelle and UNKLE and legendary freeriders Jeremy Jones and Xavier De Le Rue, ‘Follow Me Down’ explores a theme that anyone driven by some immeasurable passion will recognise — that there are no easy rides in life.
We travel to Antarctica, spurning the usual ‘heli-drop and ride’, big-mountain approach in search of the more visceral rewards that come with scaling each near-vertical face on foot. And we join UNKLE on tour in Tokyo, St. Petersburg and London, immersing ourselves in the uncompromising sounds and beliefs of a pioneering musical outfit that has strived to push the boundaries of artistic expression while retaining total integrity for close to 20 years.
The film vividly merges two disparate stories from entirely different worlds into one beautiful and compelling tribute to human perseverance.
The soundtrack to the film, scored exclusively by Unkle. Inspired by dreamy experimental electronica, sixties soundtracks and the ambient masterwerks of Brian Eno, the score act as an extraordinary tribute to the inward-looking nature of the film, as well as the vast and imposing locations where it was shot. A dark menace lurks beneath the surface of both soundtrack and film.
Disneyland Paris is a Dream Come True!
Walt Disney said, “All our dreams can come true, if we have the courage to pursue them.” This sentiment is true the world over.
