Tuesday we moved farther south, LaPine State Park just south of Bend.
Site 76
When I want to register I looked at the posted list of reserved sites. A Diana Sorens had reserved 14 sites for the night. They started at site 77 which is just across the street from us. There were two guys (in site 77) in a large hunter’s tent setting by an outside fire enjoying themselves. What we found out was these two guys had come out the day before as the advance crew for three 5th grade classes from Amity public schools. Two small school bus and one large bus drove up about 15 minutes after we had camp set up. This was the first day of a 3 day outdoor camping adventure for these kids, all 75 of them. Plus adults it reached 90 people. Two of the teaches came over and filled us in on there trip. They do this rather than going to paid camp like the 6th graders do from Enumclaw.
The other day I commented on the price for a campsite at Maryhill State Park $45.00 a night for water, sewer and electricity. As a comparison our site at LaPine has water, sewer and electricity for $26.00 a night. I will not comment on why difference in cost other than it is not the quality of site or location.
