Cattle take to the trail -- on Camp Polk Road

A small herd of cattle was driven down Camp Polk Road on Saturday afternoon, August 25.

The herd was heading south from a pasture near Indian Ford Creek to another just on the edge of Sisters.

The cattle tried once to take a flight out at Sisters' airport, but were turned back onto the roadway for their "trail drive" toward town.

Cars were lined up on the shoulders of both sides of Camp Polk waiting for the herd to pass.

The cattle crossing created a small traffic jam, but the novelty salved annoyance.

The 50 or so head had a local brand. The owner could not be reached by deadline to determine if the cattle would winter nearby or were immediately on their way to...greener pastures.
