Joan and I parked the car and walked towards the gorge through the scrub and sage along a sandy footpath. I was paying more attention to where I was stepping rather than where I was going and next thing I know I was 2 steps from a long quick decent to the bottom of the gorge. I was shocked. No guard rails; no signs or warnings at the precipice or along the path. Word to the Wise for future reference: Pay attention to the sign at the entrance.
Just a few miles into Oregon we pulled of on Hwy 201 and drove about 3 miles to Catfish Junction RV Park......located on the Snake River. Another small PA campground. We met the owner Dave who has had the park for about 7 years. Nice place with gravel drives, grass islands, boat ramp and lots of quiet. The closest town is Wieser located about 10 miles north off 201 on 95.
We considered staying 2 nights, but when we got up Easter Sunday we decided to travel a little further west.
Close to Pendleton we parked the MH at a rest stop and drove 3 miles down a side road to see Dead Man Pass. A turnoff onto a gravel 'drive' (that's stretching the description) into an open field.
The view was impressive, but it appeared this location was used by the locals for a hangout more than it was used by tourists as a must-see destination.
Another 30 miles and we decided to stop in Hermiston for a couple of nights so we could visit some of Joan's family.
The best part of being a fulltimer is all the great sights that you would have never seen if you stayed at home, enjoy!
