Can definitely tell the heating season is upon us. Diesel jumped almost fifty cents in less than a week here in sw oregon. Up to 3.50. Whats it doing in other areas? Figured it was the "winterization" blend driving it up so fast. I don't really notice the prices so much, because I only put in ten bucks every other week or so. I don't have to drive much, so....but today I'm driving out to crater lake to get some pics of where this vw plunged over a cliff a looooooooooooooooooooooooonnnnnnnngggggggggg way down into one of the deepest most beautiful freshwater bodies on earth ;D

So I finally got a nice day to look for where this fooligan went in. the article said they were NEAR the north junction overlook. So just above the overlook are a couple of spots to pull off to the left at about a thirty degree angle. As soon as I looked back at where a car would roll if its wheels were still pointed in the direction of turning off, anyone could tell. It would roll backwards and to the left: this was the tragic flaw:D.
His parking spot which I parked in. Notice how I put my wheels. If they had turned their wheels after parking, it prolly never would have gone off the cliff. It woulda rolled back a little, and then rolled right back. The spot is on a slight incline at about a thirty degree angle. We're kinda facing traffic.

The shoulder directly behind my car. The cliff is off to the right of the picture.......straight down:eek: It must have happened quick

The view they looked at when the car was gone. I highly doubt they even saw the car after it left the cliff it drops so fast

Nice shots. It's been a few years since I've been out that way.
