Winding road to Wallowa

We drove south to Oregon along a serpentine road that descended and then ascended the Wallowa Mountains. On our map, the line was an spiral. The ride was awesome in terrain and in twists.

We headed for Joseph, OR at the edge of Hell’s Canyon. Our Oregon friends, Anne and Jerry, reminded us that we had been her with them before but that was winter and this was summer with a blue lake and green trees with snow capped mountains all around. The area is so lovely we settled in for a few days (thought we kept having to change campsites.) The park was full of families with lots of kids and everyone was having a great time. One evening we went into Joseph and both had a pizza for dinner. Honestly, one of the best pizzas we have had in years. Jerry enjoyed one with all of the junk he likes to enjoy on pizza and Anna Lee had a BBQ chicken and goat cheese variety. We will finish off the last of each for dinner tonight.

We drove up to a Hell’s Canyon lookout for Jerry to try out his photo class lessons. There was also a tram ride to the top of the mountain near our campsite but it was still awaiting inspector approval after the winter so we had to leave that for a return trip in the future.
