Nature Notes From Crater Lake
Volume 3, No. 1, July 1930
Greetings From Crater Lake
National Park: 1930
By Earl U. Homuth, Acting Park Naturalist
"Climb the mountains and get their
good tidings. Nature's peace will flow into you as the sunshine
flows into trees. The winds will blow their strength into you, and
the storms their energy, and cares will drop from you like autumn
leaves."
Quotation from John
Muir.
To our many friends scattered
throughout the land, to those whose good fortune it has been to visit
Crater Lake National Park, and to those whose pleasure still lies in
anticipation, we extend greetings.
The season gives every indication of
success. A light, late-season snowfall was soon cleared, and the camp
grounds were bright with the campfire of visitors long before the
official opening date, July 1.
The staff of the Educational Division
has been again augmented and we wish to introduce Mr. F. Lyle Wynd, who
has, during five years study in the Park, completed a "Flora of the
Park", soon to go to press; Mr. Norman Ashcraft for five years a ranger
in the park; and Mr. Clyde Gilbert, a student of Geology, from Eugene,
Oregon.
