OFF THE GRID

We've moved on down the highway and we now have full service and a cell tower in sight. So I need to catch you up on the adventures of our past three days here in White Bird Oregon.  I got very frustrated without internet but the peace and quiet did have it's advantages. 

Our site was # 18 at the end of the row right on the Salmon River in the shade of a willow tree.  There was a beautiful lawn for my pleasure and no other campers on our patio side. It was quiet, peaceful and perfect.  So peaceful that I just relaxed in the grass and didn't bother to chase the birds away. 

The drive up to White Bird was made difficult because we had to stop 3 times for road work  When we finally got there instead of relaxing, Kathe and Jim went for a ride in the Jeep.  There were lots of forest roads to explore in this canyon, so of course Jim must drive them.

The Snake River was on the other side of our canyon so they drove up over the mountain to Pittsburgh Landing to watch the Jet boats.  There were several very large ranches in the canyon between the Snake and the Salmon rivers.  We saw lots of cattle grazing and even a herd of Texas long horns

It was kind of weird without the phone or internet, Kathe and Jim couldn't settle an argument without asking Google.  A question about the Nez Perce battle in White Bird will have to go unanswered another day.
