I have to back up a bit here as on Saturday when we arrived in the Baker Valley we went straight to the Oregon Trail Interpretive center which we were able to tour for over an hour...Both of us had been there before but still marvel at what an extraordinary exhibit this is and how over the years they have maintained the quality and added more exhibits as well.
Sunday morning we were eating the special breakfast at the motel restaurant, bacon, eggs, pancakes and coffee...It was very good and inexpensive to boot!...With the help of "Siri" (never tried this before) we made record time from Baker to Richland, where Leita met us and led us to her house for a tour before we left for her family cabin a few miles out of Halfway...She introduced us to Steve and his club cab truck for our ride into the mountains...I told Steve he might need a front end loader to get me in the truck but he was quick to pull our a set of steps to help Pat and I climb in, this guy is quite a gentleman!..After a bumpy ride up the mountain, through a small creek we arrived in a quiet, serene spot at a rustic one-room cabin...We spent the next two hours visiting, admiring the view as we sat next to a meandering stream (creek/crick) and shared wine, crackers and cheese...All too soon our time was up and Pat and I were again on the road heading back to Wallowa County...A quick stop at WalMart and another in Wallowa to pick up ribs for dinner, we were home before dark...Thanks Steve and Leita for a wonderful day and added memories...Hugs To All...OWAV:)
