Boardman Oregon, not a very exciting place, but it is a good half-way meeting spot for Bobi coming from Portland, Rusty from Bend and Herb and I from Joseph...Other pluses, it has a nice day park and a drive-in with good burgers...The reason for this meeting was our "two year supply of beef."...Rusty raises the beef, cuts, wraps and freezes (his new occupation.)..We supply the cash and it is Christmas in July...Initially Rusty was going to bring it to Joseph over spring break, but didn't make that family event, so we had to create a new event...Over the past 25 years we have all met somewhere in the "Gorge" for lunch, overnight camping, a birthday party, a farewell when Cienna left for Thailand and several times, it was a way to bring Cienna (when she was a wee girl) to Joseph for her many visits, meeting half-way worked...Yesterday, it was just the four of us, the way we started out, so many years ago...The weather was perfect, mid 70's, slight breeze, lovely setting, except for the freeway noise, (reminds me of our get-a-way), we visited, ate, laughed and finally unloaded/loaded the beef and parted ways...Some how we forgot to take our selfie!!!!
Back home in Joseph, beef unloaded and in the freezer by 7pm, a glass of wine/beer and we were ready for bed...It was a good day...Hugs To All...OWAV:)

The road home
Stretched our legs at the top of Minam
clouds and hills
Not sure where this was.
Minam in all its greenery.
