The Crater Lake article brought back fond memories ["It's Elemental," by Christopher Reynolds, July 26]. While traveling with my husband and two children (13 and 8) in 1984, we had reservations at Crater Lake Lodge.
We trekked up the stairs to our room only to find there was no TV and nothing much else. (There were shared showers at the end of the hall.) I said immediately that we were leaving because of no TV; I need to be connected to the outside world and made no apologies.
Down the stairs we went with suitcases; the manager thought we were crazy.
