As usual when we get stationary for awhile I forget about making new blog posts. I get busy and tell myself "I'll do it later". Well this is muuuuch later! For the sake of continuity, I'm making this post that I should have made last June. Then I'll bring everything up to date.

Sisters Oregon is a former timber camp that's been transformed into a quaint little town with a modern western theme. It's named for three near-by peeks called The Three Sisters; Faith (North Sister), Hope (Middle Sister) and Charity (South Sister).
The draw for us was the boondocking opportunities and the trails.
Our site was just 2 1/2 miles from town along a "fun" single track trail winding through the pines.
We took advantage of the trails going on several bike rides during our stay.

The Sisters Stampede mountain bike race has 2 courses, 14 and 27 mile. Both courses pass by our site.
From our site we could see the road that was the out going leg at the 4 mile mark from the start. The trail beside our site is on the return leg 2 1/2 miles from the finish.
The race was kind of anticlimactic. Sure, we could see all the riders pass by on the home stretch. But with riders spread out and little room on the trail for passing, it was just a lot of cyclists riding by.
Really enjoying our time in the forest outside of Sisters OR, we'd have stayed longer but we had "some place to be" on June 1.
Coming next, "Yaquina Head, Summer 2021" followed by "Sisters Revisited".
