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

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

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. O.S.
