We often refer to a camping trip as "roughing it."
But a perusal of camping in the old days gives a whole new meaning to the term "rough."
Our ancestors who wanted to spend time at Crater Lake had to plan on a long, dusty journey, and a primitive existence while in the park.
Historian and Park Service volunteer Larry Smith presents a program on camping at Crater Lake at the Southern Oregon Historical Society center in Medford on Saturday.
He visits the studio with tales of deer and bear, flat tires and full tents.
