From mountain home we travelled through Idaho and back into Oregon. We camped for two nights in a beautiful state Forrest called Emigrant Springs State Park. Everywhere you looked there was a squirrel running about! They even dropped off the trees onto our tent then to the ground. They are funny to watch. We took some long walks and went to a place called Meacham for breakfast yesterday. It was a pretty little place with lots of history. It was “The White House” for one day back in the 1870’s when the President of the time sighed some sort of documents there. We had breaky in the building that it happened in.
We went and had a look around Pendleton and found out that if we had done the trip in reverse that we would have been there in time for the Pendleton round up, the biggest rodeo in the country. We missed it buy 10 days. Had a look at the cowboy hall of fame! Had some great stuff.
We went out to the Umatilla Reservation and I spoke to some of the Elders. They don’t have any teaching jobs open at the moment but told me to keep checking in. they asked me to apply for a juvenile social justice job but I think it is out of my league. I have the apps and I will think about it. We are supposed to be going to the state office to register for a teaching licence tomorrow.
Tonight we have rolled into Albany through a rain storm but it has cleared now. We have settled in for the afternoon as Debbie and Dave have gone away for a week and as we didn’t have internet we didn’t know til we got here. Instead we have vegged all afternoon, done the washing and watched some tv. We had pizza to give Mark a send off for tomorrow.
We are supposed to be leaving here at 8 in the morning. I don’t know when we will have internet service again. We will see you soon just 2 weeks.
More pics uploaded today too… hope you enjoy…Lot & Lots& Lots of pics…lol
