New Summer Trip

We are heading out for a short trip around Washington as that's a state we've not been in very much.
First stop though, is Baker City, Oregon where we will visit the Oregon Trail Interpretive Center, the Snake River and a great breakfast place on the main street.

This is a neat city...so colorful and historic with many old old buildings.

...from our breakfast table...

This couple is getting married today...they're checking on their arrangements...I think.

We like to sit outside so Katie can be with us. Delicious food! and HUGE.

See the gator?

Many downtown buildings were made from volcanic tuff.

Yikes !

If you can read the signs, they read Acme Private Investigator, Acme Couples Counseling and Acme Attorney. Acme gets it coming and going !

We also headed out to the Oregon Trail Interpretive Center where they had a few horses for sale. Two of them in the pen were untrained and wild.

View looking west from the Center. The valley was totally flooded from the Powder River run off when the Oregon Trail people arrived so they had to stick to the lower foothills.

These are two of the untrained, untouched wild horses for sale.

Kim got to feed the horse and had a ball asking questions about how to raise a horse. No, we're NOT getting one!

In back of me are the Oregon Trail wagon ruts

These are the ruts made by hundreds of wagons as they came through here over 150 years ago! Most of these emigrants WALKED the entire 2,000 mile journey next to the wagons !!!

Oh...our RV site...

Nice shady spot for the afternoon sun.

Can't forget our little cutie, Katie, laying on the covers in the morning.

We spend several days in Baker City so we'll post another one tomorrow with the rest of this trip.

Here's where we are so far....

Nice to be back on the road.
