Last Days At The Imnaha River....

9/13/2015

 
( Writing this from Wallowa, Oregon on September 13. )
Yesterday, September 12, we moved down from the Imnaha River to the town of Wallowa.  We are enjoying two days at Mule Days in Enterprise before heading for the Columbia River Gorge and west to Portland.  During the last days, we drove around the area exploring little roads we hadn't seen yet.  Of course there are many more for us to explore next year when we come back to camp host again.

Finally got a picture of these rocks on the 39 road.
Picture
Even got a bonus wildlife shot.
Picture
This huge outcropping is right in site #1 at Hidden Campground. There is always someone camped there and it took me all summer to get a picture. A past camper carved this log stair so the rock could be explored.

Not far in miles, from Ollokot, but over 2000 feet higher is Harl Butte Lookout Station. In June, the volunteer that mans this station brings four months of food and supplies with him.
Picture
All summer he watches this gorgeous land for signs of forest fires.

The road construction on the FS-39 road ended at the end of August with beautiful results.
Picture
We went to our first rodeo in Halfway.

Today at Mule Days,
 our last day in
 eastern Oregon,
 I got my first Cowgirl hat.  Actually, the 92˚ temp
 drove me to it.

Sometime the mules are just as graceful as horses...

... other times they stop dead in their tracks and refuse to move. This rodeo was lots of fun.
Picture
McDove, as usual, was thrilled.
Picture
All ages participated.
Picture
We learned lots at the Dutch Oven Cook-Off.
Picture
For a one dollar donation, we got to sample, Yum!!!

Meanwhile, back in Michigan, this summer  Gramma Bridget caught her first fish.   So many firsts this year, fun!!!!
