The "Queen of the' Wild Frontier" returned to civilization
Friday afternoon and can report that camping out isn't so bad after
all. The truth of the matter is that contrary to EA's "Potluck":
song last Sunday (which we found made us practically famous
overnight) we led more of a life of ease on our outing than we
do at home, in many ways, and learned a lot about Oregon as
well. . .....
Of course, most of that was due to the fact that the "king"
who took us on the- trip is a camper of long experience, knows
what to take and what to leave at home. Always knows just
where he's going and never gets lost, knows the. names of the
mountain peaks, always spots the wild animals, buttes and rivers
and can seek out the place where arrow heads can be found, has
a large fund of interesting information about the history of the
west and the Indians, and in addition to this, he did the camp
cooking and even washed the dishes. And he couldn't be blamed
for the most un-July-like weather which all the natives com
plained about, wherever we went. .
For instance, who would have thought that heavy rain and
fresh snow would fall on the slopes of 8000 foot Hart mountain,
in the game refuge, on the Fourth of July, driving the campers
down to a lower and dryer level. Because of this, we only saw
six antelope that day, when we might have seen more if the
weather had been cooperative. We also saw fields of pale blue
wild iris in bloom which was a surprise, because we did not
know they grew at such altitudes, hundreds of clumps of beauti
ful blue lupine and found a new flower new to us a deep
bright blue small plant which looked like a dwarf penstemon.
The next day we hunted arrow heads on the shores of Alkali
lake and had the thrill of finding several small delicate bird
points as well as other Indian objects made from obsidian, the
black volcanic glass native to central Oregon. Then we drove up
on Juniper mountain where we saw more antelope, including
three tiny calves (or kids) and many more beautiful flowers. .
The shores of Abert lake next day yielded more arrow heads,
and we learned about the interesting . geology of that region.
The Abert rim, rising more than 2,000 feet above the valley floor,
is said to be one of the highest fault scarps known, and the upper
600 feet is practically vertical. ''''-'
Summer lake, Winter ridge, (named by Capt. John C. Fre
mont) and Silver lakes were next on the tour, the road to this
area going by way of Picture . Rock pass. Somewhere in that lo
cality during one of our frequent stops to poke around in the'
hope of finding arrow heads, Potpourri was introduced to a horn
ed toad which to us looks like a miniature version of some pre
historic monster. (Come to think of it, it would have made a good
gift for EA).
Potpourri for one finds the historical and geological markers
placed along the road side by the Oregon State Highway commis
sion very helpful when traveling, and from one of these we
learned about Fort Rock and the valuable archeological find made
in that region several years ago.
According to the Fort Rock marker, "Some of the earliest
known inhabitants of this continent made their home in a cave
in one of the low knolls dominated by Fort Rock, visible across
this basin. Radio-carbon dating indicates that sandals found in
the cave may be 9,000 years old. Fort Rock is the remnant of an
ancient volcano rising 325 feet above the plain. A great lake
covered this entire basin, spreading as far south as Picture Rock.
It was in a cave facing that lake that the Fort Rock people lived."
.
We explored the rock and then, intrigued by a sign which
read "China Hat," we turned the jeep toward the edge of the
Deschutes National forest. A bumpy, dusty1 road led us to a nice
forest camp where we spent the night.
' This proved to be the only clear night, with full moon and
star-studded sky to add to our camping pleasure. With the cloud
blanket gone, the temperature fell to the 32 degree neighborhood
and frost covered our sleeping bags when dawn came. We were
mighty glad to have our new dacron-filled bag and the inter-liner
of down, and the Davy Crockett bandana, a parting gift from the
newsroom gang, kept our ears from freezing. The Davy Crockett
cup came in handy, too, but the Davy Crockett horn we left at
home the sound it gives off would have scared all the antelope
off Hart mountain. '
We found that China Hat is a butte east of Paulina mountains,
and the jeep took us past "the Hat," over the rim and down to
Paulina and East lakes and the mountain of obsidian which glit
tered in the morning sun. The fickle sun, however, didn't last
long, and since the day promised to be as cold and windy as those
past, the two of us finally headed up the McKenzie river country
for we knew Grandpaw would be glad to share his roof , fire and
shower bath with two hungry, dirty campers.
..
People living in central Oregon sometimes complain about
the weather, but surely they cannot complain about the scenery.
Driving along with the Three Sisters, Mt. Jefferson, Three Fing
ered Jack and other peaks in view, we envied those residents who
have this magnificent scenery as part of their. daily lives. And
the road through McKenzie pass surely provides as much of in
terest as any in the west. The enormous lava beds, fill the travel
er with awe, and the McKenzie river provides mile after mile
of true beauty.
Potpourri came home with two regrets one that travelers
litter :: the roadside camp spots and rest areas with
bottles and cans, and that the logging and lumber industry, which
has brought growth and prosperity to Oregon leave such destruc
tion and ugliness in its wake.
"We in this nation have no right to have all the health, all
the wealth, all the happiness, all the beauty, all the education or
all of anything for our children," said Mrs. Ruth Gage-Colby
Friday night when speaking to a meeting of the Medford chapter
of the Oregon United Nations association
'" "Unless we make greater effort for the welfare of the rest of
the children of the: world, the next generation of children will
not be able to handle the problems of the world." , . -
Mrs. Gage-Colby, formerly with Unlcef and now on the staff
of a news-gathering agency covering the United Nations, believes
that all children of all nations must be properly, fed, made free
from disease and suffering and trained for a place in society if
the world is to have a lasting peace. She believes each must be
taught to respect the other's religion and manner of worshipping
God.-.'.,.-"-. , , . ::
This intelligent, . humane and earnest woman 'i has a deep
and abiding faith in the United Nations and in the idea that
world peace can be achieved, and she closed her talk by saying
"we must substitute high hope for hate in this world." O.S.
