Sisters Relaxing Weekend

We, The Dyers and us, left for Sisters Oregon  today at 3:30 pm. Beautiful drive to Salem, and we had dinner. Shrimp shrimp and more shrimp was the order of the day. We arrived in Sisters at 8:30 pm  on Thursday and went to bed. The Condo is beautiful, has a pond out of our window.

Sisters 001 Sisters 003 Sisters 004 We got up Friday and headed to the Craters. Went to Windy peak, it was windy and cold. Dee Wright observatory was the next stop. Built in the depression in 1937 by the CCC. It is all made from Lava which covers the area as far as the eye can see.. Sisters 007 Sisters 010 Sisters 014 From there we hiked to two water falls. Proxy falls and one unnamed. They were really spectacular. Interesting note. The unnamed waterfall has 3 big streams running into a pond. The pond has no outlet it just stays the same level. The water is going into the porous rock formation and must come out somewhere else. Very nice.Sisters 015 Sisters 016 Sisters 020 Sisters 021  Sisters 025 Sisters 027 Sisters 030

Today there was a harvest festival in Sisters. It was raining but fun. Had some good Hawaiian plate, pulled pork, and chicken. Got a free print from Dan Rickard, a local artist in Sisters.  Sisters 032 Sisters 033 Sisters 034 Sisters 035 Sisters 036 Sisters 037 Sisters 040 Sisters 041 Sisters 043 Sisters 048 Sisters 049 Sisters 050 Sisters 051 Sisters 052 Sisters 053 Sisters 054 Sisters 055

that looks like a lot of fun. The sculpture is a little hard to make out it looks different.
