Wife and I are tentatively headed to Crater Lake in near future by car.
I hope it works for you for it's a beautiful area; should you decide to include the Portland area coming or going...feel free to stop by, kick your shoes off...maybe you even throw your riding gloves in the car, you know...just in case.
Crater Lake...if you can avoid the weekends and go as early as possible in the morning, I think you'll find the experience more pleasant. I mean, traffic isn't terrible--I've been there 3 or 4 times at different times of the day--but late morning to late afternoon I remember there being lots more traffic than what I saw yesterday at 730-930am.

When I lived in Las Vegas and hiked Lee Canyon or Corn Creek Springs, I wanted a backpack chair, but the only ones I found were steel and rather heavy.
pdedse: thank you for sharing. Been maybe 4 decades since I saw Crater Lake.
Pick-up! When I do go camping using the DR650, the aluminum side cases are easily removed. Set on the ground, they work well as both a chair and a mini table. I always ride with seat pads strapped to my motorcycles, so I remove the pad and place on top of the side case and that works decently for a camping seat...and I don't have to pack (or buy!) anything extra.
