La Grande to where?

Holly ?#$!  We did cross some mountains from La Grande,

Lake Wallowa

and snowing to boot, coming into Idaho.  Aren’t we supposed to be in Arizona right now?  We came here to SKI???  Well, we are happy here outside of Boise on the Snake River.  We’ll be here for a couple of days, avoiding the crowds for MLK at Sun Valley, and check with friends, Al and Maija to see how the snow/rain is on Tuesday.

There are so many ranches of angus beef and onions!  Mmmm, had some of that in Joseph!…  There is so much history here along the Oregon Trail.  The national forests we passed through was the Wallowa/Whitman National Forest.  I wondered where the name Whitman came from–maybe the famous author?  No, the first woman to pass throught this mountain pass on the Oregon Trail.  Live and learn!  As we pass some of the old homesteads, I can imagine the hardship and cold the people living in those dwellings would have endured.  But every generation lives better than the past–right?
