Overnight at John Day Dam.
Mt Hood in the background.
Columbia River on the right. The wind howled but the weather was grand.
The water is flowing through John Day Dam. Several new platforms have been constructed since our last overnight here. Interesting to watch the Native Americans net fish.
Farewell Bend State Park on the Snake River. Just north/west of Ontario Oregon off I-84. Thankfully we have hook-ups. It is very very hot here. As usual on the snake in the summer.

May I recommend Howells in Huntington for Sunday Morning Breakfast.Very generous portions and quite tasty.
Huntington Oregon Trail Cemetery. Imagine life in the early to mid 1800's. Traveling thousands of miles in a rickity wagon pulled by oxen. Cooking meals on an open campfire fueled with buffalo chips. .Sleeping under the stars with all those critters. And walking hundreds of miles in those long dresses
What on earth do we have to complain about.
Jerri, I will bring to Baja this winter Wayne's great grandmother's diary of her return to Illinois from Lostine Oregon in 1894 with 7 children in a covered wagon. Wayne's grandmother was eight months old. An amazing and optimistic woman. G.
