SANGUDO

Story and photos by Steve McGean Just off of highway 43 tucked in behind the noise and speed of the highway is the beautiful little community of Sangudo. As you follow the road into the town there are older settlement structures along with a town map and history. One of the coolest things I noticed was this mini grain elevator in the middle of a field surrounded by rocks.

Looking on the information boards this mini grain elevator is in fact part of a large sundial!

There was an information board showing how to read and interpret the time.

After making sure the sundial and my watch were working I rode into the main street and toward the campground.

The next thing that caught my eye was the town’s War Cenotaph along with a retired Artillery Gun. Being a veteran, I take my time and reflect on the soldiers lost but also the ones that laid the stones for this memorial for friends, family.

I then proceeded to the Deep Creek Campground where I met Camp owners and maintainers Cory and Ray (Thanks for the burgers Ray).

After a wee bite to eat we chatted about the campground and the space, who their average campers are and I learned that they are booked up till August.
