Culver to Indian Ford

It was hot last night, had all the windows open and the fan on.  Woke to another sunshiney day!  Didn’t get on the road until 11.30 am with a loose plan to head south and maybe stop at Sisters, named after the two mountains.  This was a lovely ski town, just humming with people, the main street was pretty, hanging basket of flowers again and quaint shops and restaurants.

Pretty Ski Town of Sisters OR

Of course the campground there was full with 15 people on the waiting list so we kept going, more west now and into forest area

Today’s trip was one of the most scenic we have driven, snow topped mountains, lush pastures, orchards, farms, even some sheep.

Ah sheep, we've missed you!!

We do a bit of a “walk about” (our new term for getting a bit lost) and then find the Indian Ford Campground where we plonk ourselves for the night.  It was pretty quiet when we arrived and we had our pick of sites but by evening the place has filled up.  We are not too far off the road so can hear the hum of distant traffic and there must be some kind of local airport close by as small planes fly overhead.  Other than that it is just the whisper of the trees in the very faint breeze.  Nice!  It’s  way too hot inside (we are dry camping and prefer not to run the generator with so many people around) so we spend most of the day and night outside in the shade.  Even lay a trail of bread for the deer or the raccoons, whoever gets there first really, but in the morning it’s all there.  It’s peaceful here and as it is Saturday we decide to stay here another night.
