Unexpected snow over southern Oregon mountains closed part of Crater Lake
National Park today, halted filming of a motion picture, and trapped a woman and
three children in a snowdrift.
Mrs. Frances A. Hale, Alhambra, Calif., and her 13-year-old son hiked 12
miles for help after her car stalled in a snow bank on a Crater lake entrance
road during the night. Hangers at park headquarters brought Mrs. Hale's 17 and
11 year old daughters, left in the stalled car, to safety.
Crater lake park's north and east entrances were closed by snow and officials
said the entire park would be closed for the winter.
