Hell's Canyon
















Today we made the least distance but enjoyed the best scenery so far. We got off to an early start but only went 5 miles before stopping at the Oregon Trail Visitors Center. Connie checked out some of the RVs from way back and we decided we should just stick with ours! The exhibits were interesting. Then on down to the Snake River at Oxbow only to find out we had been steered wrong by our computer map and our navigation system. No worries. A short 5 mile backtrack and we were on our way to Joseph OR. It was a slow winding 62 miles to Joseph but a beautiful drive through the mountains beside streams and with a couple of overlooks to Hell's Canyon. Awesome! Now we're settled into a little RV park in Joseph, a nice little town with a beautiful lake and a beautiful snow covered mountain backdrop. Spring has just arrive on the countryside and I think this was the perfect time of the year for the route we took. Everything has been so green and the wild flowers are prolific. Tomorrow leaves us with a short jaunt to Winston and Julie's.
