Did you know the King of Jordan rides a Harley? I sure didn't. He, his family, entourage, and about a million security folks were visiting Crater Lake the same day we were. We wandered over to the Crater Lake Lodge to use the restrooms only to find vehicles being stopped and turned around, and a lot of guys walking around with radios and ear buds. (I had learned earlier from one of the visitor center folks that the King of Jordan was visiting the park on this day.)
So, I sat on the low wall holding Taiko as the boys went inside and admired the 10 or so brand new identical Harleys parked outside in a row. Folks that looked like part of his crew were also sitting there. They eyed Taiko, but didn't approach us. On fellow (sounded like a Brit) came over, asked if he was a Weimaraner, and gave Taiko lots of scritches. Which make Taiko very happy. When the boys came out, we traded places. I returned just in time to see everyone mount up, and take off. There was a lead car, and several chase cars in addition to the Harleys. Not to mention the state trooper bringing up the rear.
The bikes may have been new, but their riding gear wasn't. I got the impression the King enjoys his rides.
It's really too bad there wasn't a clearer view of the lake for them.
(No, I didn't get a picture. We sat on the wall, ate trail mix, and enjoyed the spectacle. HA!)
