Those coming from out of Let us help you plan the wedding ur dreams. - 214 EAST MAIN PHONE SP 2-7169 msm Driving across the hot, dry, Central Oregon desert, with the fine, choking dust boiling from the rond up through the car, the two of us wondered if we were a bit touched about this business of camping. Settled snugly In a lush spot be side a tiny mountain stream, with wild flowers blooming all around, the green grass for a floor, the silver trunks and restless leaves of the aspen trees for walls and the cloudless evening sky and first stars for a ceiling, there were no doubts. Such moments more than repay the camper for the heat, dust and inconvenience. And the sight of the big buck deer, silhoutted against the evening sky, was an added pleasure. The animal com pleted the setting of this remote, natural stage on the high desert of Hart mountain. Through the field glasses we could see the fine spread of antlers, still in the velvet, when the deer turned his head in the direction of camp down in the valley and stood motionless. He moved at an unhurried pace along the ridge and at length disappeared from sight. The darkness deepened; Jupiter blazed in the southern and the Big Dipper. When we can see these famiuur stars, no spot seems too far from home. Before when the two of us camped near the hot springs on Hart mountain, we vowed to bones in the warm, mineralized water. So we did this tune, enjoying the sight of the bubbles slowly coming up through the water and the feel of the water, which if it was any warmer, would be uncomfortable. But the dirt which loosened from the bottom and sides of the little pool somewhat spoiled our pleasure and we wished that there was some way to keep it cleaner. Later we learned from one of the men at headquarters that the crew does clean the hot springs pool, but had been too busy at more necessary tasks, such as readying the camp grounds, excavating water holes for the use of the deer, antelope and range cattle, and repair ing roads. Considerable time is spent checking up on campers, too, and helping them out of difficulties. This time the visitors from Medford were among those who needed help. Not too long after arriving on the high plateau. Pappy noticed that the motor failed to start promptly, and Thursday,, about mid- morning, it just plain refused. However, in only a tew moments two of the men from headquarters (tins area Is administered by the Department of the Interior as a game refuge) came along with some all, one of them found a leak carburetor, wound it with tape, The two of us were filled but the men said this was part towed in a station wagon and hours working on the motor" have trouble because of the high altitude and heat we've repaired four in as many days." Later that day, a cattleman Returning to the valley, we drove to Plush for gasoline, only to find the one gas station in this little hamlet closed for the day. Seeing a gasoline truck parked in a yard, Pappy thought an appeal to the driver might bring results. The tanker was empty, but the householder offered to supply the travelers with fuel if they would drive over to his ranch. While Pappy filled the Ford'j Potpourri talked with the young, handsome and courteous man who wore the riding boots, levis, cowboy shirt and wide hat which are a uniform for cattlemen and their ranch hands. Since the porch with branding Irons more than 50 we inquired if collecting them was a hobby and he said it was. All have been the Elfta of neighbors, friends and acquaintance, had once been early-day cattle baron, Pete French. The ranch owner said that his name was Phil Lynch, that he had come from Ireland in 1940, loved the central Oregon country which many look on as too desolate and would not live anywhere else. His grandfather, who bore the same name, had settled in the area many years ago, he said. "In this locality, only the people passing through are not from Ireland," he said. "Everyone who lives here is Irish." At first the young man gasoline but when Pappy insisted, he named a sum which was considerably less than he must have paid for it, even at ranch rates. Perhaps he thought from appraising the two travelers and their gear, that more than he did. Or maybe he's simply hospitable. As we talked, a couple of cow hands drove a small herd into a near-by corral made with a brush fence. The ranch owner explained that these fences which he called a willow fence, are better than any other type for certain purposes, being sturdy and requiring almost no upkeep. We drove on, grateful for the rancher's friendliness and help. The two of us had given a little help, that day, too. A short time before as we drove towards Plush from the mountain we passed two men on horseback driving cattle and one had hailed us. At first we didn't quit understand what he said sounded like "Do you have any water left?" A second later it dawned on Potpourri that he had said exactly that. Pappy put on the brakes, the rider came along side the car, and repeated his request. So we got out the Army canteen which Pappy always carries filled with water on such trips, and the rider had his drink. The horse and rider were both very dusty and warm we decided that camping out in the cattle country is wonderful fun and relaxing but we wouldn't care about driving cattle all day to make a living. Being an honest reporter (we hope) we feci compelled to add one word about the beautiful camping spot on Hart mountain near the hot spring. It harbors absolutely the most vicious and poisonous mosquitoes Imaginable, Potpourri the miserable creatures don't seem to bother Pappy awoke Thursday morning with puffy eyelids, a large bump on the point of our chin, our upper lip swollen until our face looked askew, and other evidences that the mosquitoes had had a wonderful feast. This in spite of the fact that we had sprayed on the goop which usually protects our face and hands. We still like to camp out.
