After attending Harold's 100th we headed to North Eastern Oregon to a town and Wallowa mountain region that we heard was stunningly beautiful. True to it's reputation, it was amazing. Many in Oregon have never even seen this area due to it being remote and off the beaten path. From satellite this area at night offers some of the fewest night lights in the entire country. The town of Joseph is a quaint artsy town named of course after a Christian Indian Chief by the name of Joseph. His story is a very sad one, and yet beautiful one due to this Chief's Christian background. Here is a picture of Barbara and I up near the top of the Wallowa Mountains overlooking Lake Wallowa and the town of Joseph. Most are loggers or cattle ranchers in this part of Eastern Oregon. The biggest topic in town is the destruction caused by the wolves. Don't get them going on wolves! If you enjoy beautiful out of the way parts, then the Wallowa Mountains in Eastern Oregon is one of those very unusual places one can visit.
