Although Balmy Now, It Will Cool Off With the Passing Hours.
“ …. At one of the lots far off the main highway we spread out our sleeping bags …. “(Cont.Next)
Somewhere North of, but close to, La Pine, OR. (Continued fm previous.) So it is safe to say that the above mentioned mobile home park had/has ridiculous tiny lots! I did not take a photograph at the time because I thought better candidates would be "On Down The Highway"! I was wrong, but by the time I realized this, it was too late to go back. Anyway, as I remember, the land visible from the highway, was fairly flat and, except for the private property, was covered with pine forest dense enough to block vision at a depth of 30 feet into the forest. This flatness seemed to extend for at least a mile in all directions. The surrounding mountains were not high enough at that intersection to be seen above the trees around that area. Can anyone help us with this? Having studied a Topozone map, I believe this is at the intersection of Rt97 with Burgess Road, 2.8 mi North of Lapine OR. You can also see on this map there is Huntington Road along a river just East of Rt97. This may have been Rt97 in 1968, since an elderly couple I talked to remember when a new Rt97 was put in. Considering that the Narrator may have traveled the older road, their Campsite may have been along it, perhaps near the intersection of Burgess Rd. Other Topozone maps shows more tract type roads another 1.4 mi North of Burgess Rd. There are other places further North, but not visible from the River Road or the (new?) Rt97.
