A Forest of Scrubby Trees Similar To Where the Narrator and Chris Camped.
“ …. [forest of scrubby trees,] subdivided into ridiculous little lots. Some developer’s scheme apparently.“(Cont.Next)
Somewhere North of, but close to, La Pine, OR. Where is the "housing development” with the ridiculous tiny lots? .. While traveling South towards La Pine, OR, I traveled slower than average and closely studied the landscape on both sides of Rt. 97, for any present-day evidence of this place. For many miles prior to La Pine, practically ALL of the land adjoining the highway is under the close control of the National Forest Service. No houses or businesses AT ALL! A place that qualifies as the Narrator’s 1968 camp site, was a semi populated area centered around a major side road along Oregon Rt. 97, less than 5 miles North of La Pine, OR. This side road, as I remember it, is the only road, dirt or paved, for quite a distance prior to La Pine. OR. I remember there were buildings on the East side of Rt97 in that immediate area. If there were any road (or drive) going East in this area, it is a minor road. In addition to other nearby private properties near that intersection, there is a fairly large mobile home park, on the NW corner where the side road intersected with Rt97. Judging from the general quality of the vegetation plus age of the mobile homes, this could well have been started in 1968, and had a very slow rate of people moving into these sites. As is normal for most other trailer villages, it was crowded side-by-side, Cheek by Jowl on small narrow lots! (Continued next)
