I have stayed at this establishment many times over the last 15 years. (I was initiated into the "Rat Club" by my friends after I went through 1500 rounds of 22 shells shootin' varmints. LOL The rooms are always clean, the staff is very friendly, they treat you like family. It's like going camping with all the amenities of home; microwave, coffee pot, nice showers, comfortable beds, and you get to meet all sorts of interesting people from all over the world. Yes, Christmas Valley is like a "hole in the ground" or a "crack in the ground". Out in the middle of nowhere. Yet, you get to see the "Crack in the Ground" at Christmas Valley and "Hole-in-the-round" near LaPine, OR. Crack in the Ground is a volcanic fissure over two miles (3 km) long and up to 70 feet (21 m) deep in central Oregon, United States. [1]
Hole-in-the-Ground is a large maar (explosion crater) in the Fort Rock Basin of Lake County, central Oregon. [2]
Fort Rock is 40 minutes; 30.94 miles away. What an awesome view. A lot of history at this site.
Don't forget to stop by Santa's Workshop. Yes, there is a "Santa's Workshop", anyways there was the last time I spoke w/ the owner/manager. That was last year 2013 during the winter when he made a trip over to Roseburg during a snow storm. They have a little bit of everything there; even Aloe Vera Gel for us people that forget we are actually in the desert and yes you will get a sunburn if you are not careful.
Hopefully, I get a room for this weekend. I am going to see my son and his girlfriend. It's my son's birthday and I really miss him. (Poor feller', he was born on 9/11 ('85) but it's still a moment that will always touch my heart no matter what year it is. GO USA!!!!!!!!!!!!! ;0 )
After a long day of seeing the sights, it sure is relaxing to have a nice hot shower, great ambiance, and a clean, comfortable bed to lie down on. It's even better than the Motel 6. The Desert Inn Motel will leave the light on for you also. {Sorry Motel 6, :0 ( but these people have you beat hands down.} Just my opinion of course.
Hope to see you there. ;0 }
