Wrong Turn, Wagon Train & Rain Dance

July 8, 2015

Mountain View RV Park
Baker City, Oregon

We had an interesting trip to Baker City.  We missed our turn and decided to just take the next road across the mountains.  Our GPS kept telling us to turn around, but we didn't think an unknown dirt road would be much better so we just kept going.  We ended up going over the pass on a very narrow road.  We were fortunate to not meet many vehicles so finally made it to the other side safely.  I now have to figure out know how to get the fingernail impressions out of the armrests.








We enjoyed visiting the Oregon Trail Interpretive Center today.  It was an excellent museum with a very knowledgeable staff preforming living history programs.



We have not had a single day of rain since we left Arizona so our truck was very dusty.  We treated it to a wash and as soon as we got back to the RV we had a torrential downpour with small hail.  If we had realized that a truck wash was all that was needed for rain, we would have washed it in California where they really needed the rain.

    Jim always says that we have a permanent dent in the passenger side floor of the truck from my stomping on the brake all the time.

    Did you see the history museum in Baker City too. There is a replica of the town in Paint Your Wagon that was used in the movie.
