South Central Plateau
Klamath and Lake Counties
This area relates as much to northern California and San Francisco as it does to Oregon and Portland. Sprawling Klamath lake straddles the state line and I am not sure the ranchers know or care which side they are on. Drainage is to the south by way of the Klamath river also. This is a huge waterfowl area. Duck and goose hunters and environmental preservationists all flock here to try to get the best of each other. The flocks of migrating waterfowl are truly astounding. I estimated that 10,000 swans were using Goose Lake when I took this group of photos. Am I crazy? That's been said before. It is a long trip between towns here, but when you stop for a rest break you can just park on the road and get out to walk around. No need to get off the pavement.
