On the way to (Forest Service Road) FS 39, outside of Joseph, Oregon, we are greeted with some rancher humor.

In the area around Ollokot, the six campgrounds on FS 39 and 
FS 3960 are the camps we help maintain with Carla.  She is responsible for an additional four more camps.   The Wallowa-Whitman National Forest has hundreds of campgrounds in three states, but is mostly in Oregon.

Around Camp...

Our Aliner is set up next to this wonderful 16' X 32' Host cabin.  We sleep in our Aliner and cook and eat, and shower in the cabin.  It has a real stove and refrigerator run on propane. And a stand-up shower , flushing toilet and propane hot water heater. We also have a cold water spigot and propane hook-up next to our Aliner.   With the temperatures at 100 degrees this week, we have no trouble getting enough solar power to run our lights in the camper.

Last weekend a bunch of us helped Carla put up her Tipi.  It's about 100 feet from the cabin.  She stays here on holidays and some weekends, and we share the cabin's kitchen and bath when she's here.  We have a lot of fun together and have a lot in common.

Hell's Canyon Lookout...
About ten miles from our campground is the 
Hell's Canyon Lookout.  It's  at  5240 ft. elevation and
we can get a phone signal there, but not internet.   
As you can see it's a real burden to have to drive there
 to make a call.

At the end of the day, we like to sit down by the Imnaha River and watch the deer and the ravens.  There are so many wildflowers, it's fun to see which ones have opened that day and, of course, take a few pictures.

Miss you and love you all!

Betty, you will be missed.  
Our thoughts are with you, Kim and all your family.
