Well, as you can tell I've been a little distracted from my photo posting duties. Between the GRE, Grad applications, the holidays, and a sick Tegu, I haven't gotten to the computer in a while. So here we go… Aug- Dec '07.
Waldo Lake- Lying high on the western slopes of the Oregon Cascades, Waldo Lake is one of the largest natural lakes in Oregon (9.8 square miles with a maximum depth of 427 feet). Waldo is one of the purest lakes in the world. It has no permanent inlet to bring nutrients into the lake for plant growth. The lack of plant life contributes to its purity. You can see to depths of 120 feet on a calm day.

In 1996 a forest fire, the Charlton fire, swept by the lake and forced the evacuation of several campgrounds while burning much of the north side of the lake’s surrounding forest.
