Recently went to Sisters, Oregon for the annual quilt festival. If you haven't seen a whole town covered inside and outside with quilts from all over the country, then you have a real treat in store!!

Sisters is a very small community in the mountains near Bend. I am fortunate to have a friend there who has offered her hospitality and home so that Susan and I could attend the quilt show again this year. Wonderful time!

Camping over July 4th

Camping at Red Mountain Praire, which is within a couple of miles of the trailhead to Vulcan Lake, southwest Oregon. As you can see, the view toward the ocean is a bit hazy with smoke from whatever wildfires are within range.

It is still spring in the mountains, so there are some lovely wildflowers in the meadow.

We pretty much did nothing but absorb the sun, take short walks, and throw the ball for Lola-dog.

On the way down the hill again I took a picture of Snowcamp Mountain, Collier Butte, to Game Peak, which is to the north. The top of the mountain was in a cloud, so couldn't see Snowcamp LO even with binaculars. It is the farthest range in the center of the picture.

You can see in the picture taken near the top of Vulcan Mtn that the undergrowth is coming back nicely, but evidence of the Biscuit Fire remains.
