Rolled into Idaho from Oregon around 4pm today. We experienced some beautiful country in eastern Oregon. Ran into hail and snow the last couple of days, but it usually only fell for 15 or 20 minutes at a time. We were traveling at higher elevations - three to five thousand feet-and did not see any real accumulation other than in the higher mountain areas. Took a few pictures, of course, but have yet to work on them. Here is a shot taken at the visitor center in Idaho on the Snake River - right across the border (click on the photos to enlarge them):
We were on part of the Oregon trail as we closed in on Idaho. The girls had to push the wagon over the border.
And as always, the photographer's assistant was with us, . . .
The temps had gotten up to about 55 degrees here. We were in the high 30's for most of the drive in Oregon. I have not updated the blog in a while so here are some pic's from the last few days we spent in Oregon. This first one was taken on the reservation in the Deschutes Recreational area. It is the Deschutes river:
I liked the fenceline shot above - this is what a lot of the country looked like.
This group shot was taken in the John Day area, where a treasure trove of prehistoric fossils (bones and plants) have been recovered. It is a huge park area with a very nice visitor center. For more information check out their website at:

Tomorrow we'll head to Craters of the Moon National Park in Idaho.
