Trip Report 03/29/2008
by
J.R. from La Grande
We met at Shari's in Pendleton, Oregon for the morning meal
and gab session. At about 9:20 we were on our way to old
Hwy 30 where The roads were nice and dry but farther we
drove up the hill Where the road became more snow covered
but not a problem.
The view was great looking into the valley around Pendleton,
There was a different sight as we pulled into Emigrant State
Park for a quick stop. A lot of snow.
From there we headed through the small communities of Meacham
Kamela then La Grande. Where we picked up the Oregon trail on
Foot Hill Rd. on the way to Hot Lake then Union. There we took
H.W.Y 203 on our way to Oregon Trail Visitor center Witch is a
great place to visit.
On our way through Baker City we took time to see a quilting
store and ice cream parlor. then a trip on side roadsto take in
the views of the town. We found our way back to hwy. 30
on our way to Haines Where we had a wonderful Dinner at the
Haines steak House.
From there we headed to the small town of North Powder
After passing through North Powder on hwy. 237 we
saw the new wind farm on our way back to La Grande
through Union. Then the adventure ended
I would like to thank you all for coming on my adventure
