OK, I explained this earlier this week but I'll be patient with you for being a bruh...
Crater Lake is in my home state of Oregon. There are other caldera lakes in the world but none anything close to as spectacular as this.
At one time it was a HUGE volcanic mountain (Mt. Mazama), the largest in the state, similar in size and composition to Mt. Shasta CA
Then 7700 years ago, it blew itself to smithereens, leaving a HUGE crater
Over the millenia it rained and/or snowed millions of times, and the crater filled with water. Because there is no inlet or outlet to this lake the water is 100% from precipitation, making the water in Crater Lake some of the purest, cleanest, clearest water in the world, 2000 feet deep, and is why the color of the water is so stunningly and brilliantly blue
Notice the trees along the rim. At some point prior to 1896 (the earliest known documentation) one of those trees fell into the lake and has been bobbing vertically in the lake ever since. It is known as "
Old Man of the Lake".
And that is the connection. Like that floating ancient water-logged Hemlock stump I am from Oregon, and I am the Old Man of Lake MusicBanter.
