Clothing/Shoes/Weather Gear: Always bring cool and warm clothing. Dont go into the forest in sandals! Wear socks and shoes.

Camping/Beach/Outdoor Gear: Always! Bring warm clothes because it gets cold at night. Bring mosquito repellant and nets if you are not in a tent to protect yourself from them.

Miscellaneous: If you dont like the waether here, wait a minute it will change! I have seen it go from a warm breezy sunny day to snowing and then to rain and back to sun within 3 hours!

Favorite thing: Moor Park is a delightfull well groom park with walking paths and wild life, with a great view of Klamath Lake.
There are many art galaries with great artist. Crater Lake is an especially desireable area for new comers with walking paths and boat rides in the crater. There is a small company that has jet boat rides in Klamth Lake. The people are friendly and helpfull with many good hotels and eating establishes.

Fondest memory: CLEAN AND SPARKLING atmosphere. The air is fresh and smells of pine. Winters are mild and summers are warm and usually dry.
Sergio's Dos is a missed restaurant with great mexican food and on site home made tortillas.
The wildlife in abundant, nature reserves are many and you get a fine choice of bird watching or relaxing in that shady place fishing the many fine lakes and streams.
There is alot of new growth here and there is an extreme between the incoming retirees with their big money and the low cost of living here.
