The parade starts, as always, at 11 a.m. Get there early — and stay for BBQ chicken in the park, after.

This place is straight out of a Nancy Drew novel: wood paneling, great wacky original paintings, old-fashioned snow shoes hanging on the walls. The ’50s American nature retreat, still in existence.

Lake of the Woods is between Klamath Falls and Medford just off Highway 140. The original lodge, built in the 1920s, burned and was rebuilt in the 1950s; the store is from 1924 and still operates. The whole place was taken over by new owners about 10 years ago and has been extensively but quite perfectly remodeled to keep its rustic early 20th century flavor.

You can rent cabins here in the summer; prices range from $139 to $289 a night — not cheap! — but what atmosphere!

The restaurant is a bit overpriced but serves decent food and has a great view.

And we bought the most expensive gasoline of our lives here on Saturday — $5.409 a gallon.

Still, it’s beautiful.
