For comparison, and on better days....
The water is crazy blue!
Crater Lake is the deepest lake in the United States and the seventh-deepest lake in the world, known for its vibrant blue color and purity. Because there are no inflowing streams, the lake is fed solely by rain and snow. It is the cleanest and clearest large body of water in the world.

I agree, Crater Lake is beautiful.
Looks like that Gixxer has at least a slip on...
There are places we’ve discovered over the years that are considered ‘finds’. Unusual and perfect places to host a small group of bikers. The Prospect Hotel in Prospect, Oregon is one of those places. Originally a stagecoach stop on the way to Crater Lake, it used to take two days to reach Crater Lake. Prospect holds that distinction of being right at the halfway point for a two-day stagecoach journey. We made our way here and our hosts fed the group with a hearty final dinner and capped off a fantastic multi-day ride.
Sadly, we had to say goodbye to one another after riding a 1000 miles together.

However, what I faced to the due south looked like this:
I had originally planned a ride to Glass Mountain, yes, a mountain of glass. But the smoke prompted a before dawn departure out to the Pacific Coast and back into California, which would keep me out of the heat and any smoke in NorCal.
This is where I wanted to go.
Glass Mountain is a national monument right on the CA - OR border. Unknown to most and visited by almost nobody.
Heading out to the coast seemed like the best option based on the fire map.

If you’ve never experienced the Coast Redwood Forest, you must add this to your bucket list. The tallest trees on earth can reach heights of a thirty-story building and several thousand years old. But you shouldn’t limit yourself to the obvious, that is, The Avenue of the Giants, which is a 32-mile stretch of road through a massive redwood forest. Coast Redwoods once covered much of the West Coast and have even been found as far south as Los Angeles, thought to be from the last Ice Age 10,000 years ago.

At Prairie Creek Redwoods State Park is the Newton Drury Scenic Parkway. Any road that parallels a freeway, you want to check out. This one runs through an ancient redwood forest and well-worth the detour. 1554 miles later, made it back to home base.
I had done a bit of advance homework, but this looked really goaty. Looked more like gravel. Anything with 'Coast' in the name of the road sounds interesting.
