Sitting here in the Delta Sky Club at PDX, knowing I still have a full day of flying before me, I thought it would do my spirit good to post about our recent camping trip to Wallowa Lake in Joseph, Oregon (where I could actually go outside whenever I felt like it and walk around).
 |
| Nigel is a seasoned traveler, |
 |
but this was Schazi's first road trip of any duration.
She was a real trouper. |
 |
| Gorgeous mountains around the lake. |
 |
| A little baby crochet to pass the afternoon. |
 |
For a pup who has been raised with a doggy door
and the freedom to go in and out as she pleased,
Schazi did really well in the fifth wheel.
Not one accident, woo! |
 |
| It didn't take her long to get into our afternoon routine. |
 |
Imnaha is where Chief Joseph and his Nez Perce band would
spend the winter. |
 |
| Looks kind of like Jarbidge or the Rubies in Nevada, right? |
 |
We drove past this barn half a dozen times - I had to have a
picture. Look at that sky! |
 |
| We were almost too late for the fall color. |
 |
Here's what I don't get. All he wanted was to lead his band
into Canada, so as not to be forced onto a reservation
far from Wallowa, his home. But, nooooo, the
U.S. Army had to chase them to within 30 miles
of the Canadian border before forcing a surrender. |
 |
| Deer, deer, everywhere. Small but big racks. |
 |
| Wake up cuddle |
Snooze
 |
| Chief Joseph's father is buried near Wallowa Lake |
 |
Here's his monument. Meanwhile, Chief Joseph is buried
in Washington state, far from home. |
Read up on the Nez Perce "war" of the late 1800's - I plan to learn more myself.
