Shays4Me.....glad you're following along but in the future when replying with a quote you should probably delete the pictures posted in the quote. Most do not want to see the pictures posted twice which the system will do when quoting a post that has pictures. And yes, you're correct, the Wallowa area is a slice of heaven!
So I'll go ahead and wrap this up. After leaving Joseph I kept working my north up towards the Roosevelt Lake area. Just poked along exploring any side roads or whatever I came upon. Camped one night en-route on some Forest Service land along with some hunters.
Some old buildings out on the open farm land of Washington State. If only these walls could talk.
Like to poke around old cemeteries. Ran across this one on some back road while looking for some picture opportunity. A life short lived.
Stopped to watch some pheasant hunters. Finally had to leave as the old lab was more interested in what I was doing than pointing birds. Hunters were nice about it and he loved his old dog too much to really care about it so they took a break for awhile until I moved on.
Rolled into Roosevelt Lake where I stayed for one night and visited the old fort and the Marina. Would be fun to rent a houseboat here and spend some time on the lake.
Following day headed for Leavenworth where I had planned to spend a few days for some picture taking and hiking in the area. Weather was not cooperating so I ended up on spending one afternoon and a night. Just didn't feel like fighting the rain. Found a nice spot along the river outside of town.
Weather turned to crap but it caused some dramatic low cloud cover.
While cruising around came around a corner and these guys were winching a loaded Harley out of the ditch. Looked like a combination of wet road and probably some excess speed and he didn't make the curve and decided to visit the woods. Pretty big drop they were winching it up from and the front end received some major damage.
Pretty much wraps this portion of the trip up. Headed back to Tacoma the next day in a torrential downpour. Was the first time I'd been off since losing Old Hank so it was pretty bittersweet not having him with me. Thought of him often while out roaming around. He loved to go off with me in the camper. I've now got Petey so I guess I need to change the title on the report when I hit the road again. Looks like we'll be headed south for a couple of months beginning mid February or so. Hopefully, Petey will enjoy roaming around as much as Old Hank did.
Thanks for following along and hope you got some ideas for your next adventure......
