Andrea - She said she saw Scott at Crescent Lake, not Crater Lake.
 Although, 70 miles per day would be impressive, even for Scott!!

There may be more than one Crescent Lake, but the one I remember is a few
miles south of Shelter Cove, that's at about the 750 mile mark.  I was told
Scott started on the 11th.  That's 54 miles per day.

I think Scott would get a good chuckle at all the posts about him!
