July/August is huckleberry season in Wallowa County...Some years we have bumper crops and other years they are few and far between...For many years while getting firewood, near a huckleberry patch, Herb would fall the tree, limb etc. and I would pick berries...Other times Pam and I would go on our own or with grandchildren so they could have this fun experience.
Now Pam is working summers, for the Forest Service, and met Richard, campground host last year, and huckleberry picking has ramped up...Richard born and raised here knows all the good patches and he loves picking huckleberries.
Yesterday found P, R and I in a huckleberry patch, and this is what we came home with...Already we are planning our next trip.
Herb was content to read and relax, never enjoyed picking very much but did it to keep me happy.
After picking huckleberries, we all enjoyed steaks cooked over the open fire, along with salads and dessert...Arrived home before dark and in bed shortly after...It was an extraordinary day...Hugs To All...OWAV:)
