Touristy Shopping in Sisters, OR
Sisters High School sports teams are called the Outlaws. No, they don’t cheer “Go Sisters!” at football games. It has been an ongoing source of amusement to me that local sports teams are not always named after predators. Not only are the University of Oregon Ducks and the Oregon State University Beavers, but consider also the Lakeview Honkers, the Klamath Falls Pelicans, and the Gresham Gophers. Franklin High School teams in Portland may no longer call themselves the Quakers, thanks to a recent school board decision.
Sisters is the point of departure for adventures in the Lower Cascades and along the Wild and Scenic Metolius River. But the roads to higher elevations were still closed in May, so we shopped for chotchkes in Sisters. I found a pretty little landscape in the five-block downtown.
