Ride'n the Oregon Trail

Went to the Oregon Trail Interpretive Site with the Soden's; both senior and grand child support unit sections plus cousin Connor from Fairbanks. The Soden's just had a family reunion up in Idaho and we all met up in Baker City. Grandpa Larry (finishing yet another nation wide tour on his Harley), grandma Margaret & Connor are heading back soon. The grand children and their support unit will head back to Denver tomorrow and we will take a different route home via the Columbia Gorge.

There are wagon ruts from the 1800's down there by the covered wagon (the white speck up and left of center). We are going to take their word for it.  We were by here a couple of life times ago (actually, just this spring) and didn't make the treck then either.

This poor lady was waiting for her husband to round up the oxen that wandered off last night.

True pioneer kids.

Empty.

On the way in from Hwy 84 there is my very most favorite farm machinery graveyard.

It used to be operated as a museum but seems that they have given up on that.

Will spend the rest of the day at the pool (you do NOT want pictures of that) and then slow down after that.

Stay cool!
