Day five.

Roseburg, OR to Central Point, OR

We got to go to Crater Lake today. It was very pretty. We got to go on a tour with Ranger Dave Grimes who told us all about the deepest lake in the United States.( Over 2,000 ft. deep!) This was so much fun because Ranger Dave was able to ride with us on our tour bus and tell us everything there is to know about Crater Lake.After our adventure at Crater Lake we arrived late to our venue in Central Point, OR and set up the floor and all of our costumes in about 25 min. It is amazing how fast our group can move when food is the motivation.
Once we had the venue all set up were were able to eat an amazing dinner all thanks to members of the Central Point Stake.Thank you so much to all those of Central Point that hosted us and came to our show!

"We had the most amazing home stay family! They were able to take 8 of us girls and that night we ate the most amazing strawberry pie. Here is Jill Frodsham’s Famous Fresh Strawberry pie recipe!

Fresh Strawberry Pie

1 baked pie shell
about 3 pints fresh strawberries

slice strawberries in half and lay on the pie shell
pile strawberries in the shell heaping towards the middle
Cover with glaze sealing out to the edges.

Glaze
2 cups mashed berries ( I put them in the blender with all the other ingredients then boil the mixture)
1 cup of sugar (less if strawberries are really sweet)
1/2 cup water
2 1/2 Tablespoons cornstarch
Cook until clear about 3 minutes stirring. It will thicken. Pour 1/2 over strawberries. Tab pie plate to settle glaze. Pour rest of glaze over berries covering berries and seal out to edges. Chill (about an hour) and enjoy.
(Also good with peaches or other fresh fruit.) If you don’t have enough berries you can use Danish Dessert for the glaze.

This is such a wonderful recipe and I hope you enjoy it as much as we did! Thank you Jill!”

"As we were pulling in to the first rest stop in about 2 hours at Crater Lake, to all of our surprise we saw another BYU-Idaho tour bus. I looked at Dave and exclaimed THAT’S ALVIN! Alvin is my step-dad and he is the bus driver for the geology students this week. We were so lucky to meet up at the same place and get a hug, catch up and take some good pictures. Unfortunately, Alvin has the pictures. It made my day, and his too. My mom sent me a text that night that said he called home after he saw me and was really happy, but sad because he misses his family. He will get home Sunday, a week before us so he will be there soon! Love you Alvin!”
