On Saturday we ventured into town (Sisters), about 20 minutes from Caldera, to do errands and get oriented to the area. The town is cute, very touristy, as it caters to visitors to summer and winter resorts in and around the Cascades. The biggest employers are the resorts and the Forest Service, followed closely by the school system. We found everything we needed there (hardware store, used books, and good coffee, all the essentials for artists). There's a wild west theme here, with some authentically old west buildings, and many new ones that mimic that style. Sisters is named for the Three Sisters, high peaks in the Cascade range. The other thing that Sisters seems to be known for is a huge summer quilt festival, with many avid quilters both locally and nationally coming to town to display quilts all over town.
