| View form campsite...early morning |
We arrived in La Pine…about 20 miles south of Bend, OR to
more or less the same hazy skies.
Disappointing, but what are you going to do? We talked to the booth lady about which
campground she liked…seems to be three close at hand. We wandered through Paulina (her favorite),
the East Lake (sandy beach and right on the East Lake) and finally landed at
Cinder Hill which is also on the lake…mostly anyway.
Picked out a site off from the lake and crossed our fingers
that the mosquitoes from Diamond Lake didn’t migrate to our new location. No one has screened canopies so maybe we
won’t have to fight them. That’s a good
thing. Since we had not restocked the
food supplies we headed into La Pine to get ice, a few groceries and check out
the area.

We wandered around to see what else there is to do in the
area…drove up Paulina Peak which is about 7800 feet in elevation. Beautiful view of the lakes, but with
threatening skies we decided against a hike.
Of course since it looked like storms were brewing as we headed back to
camp. Rather than try cooking on a fire we
ate sandwiches and battened down for the night...good thing within minutes a
fairly loud thunderstorm struck. The
tent has now been christened by a thunderstorm and passed as far superior to
our last tent…great being up off the ground and dry.
