We traveled quickly from Glenn's Ferry, Idaho, a famous and treacherous river crossing on the Oregon Trail, to Redmond, Oregon. Pioneers crossed the Snake River at Three Island Crossing until 1869 when Gus Glenn constructed a ferry about 2 miles upstream. We stayed at Three Island State Park which is very nice and includes an interesting Oregon Trail History Center.
Scott's Auntie Donna passed away and we hurried to Redmond for a family gathering in her memory. As we traveled from Bend to Boardman we talked about the beauty of the Cascade range, Mount Hood, and the mighty Columbia River. There really is nowhere quite as grand as our own state.
We stayed a few days in Pendleton to reconnect with kids, grandkids, and my Dad. It was fun to see family, celebrate Father's Day and my nephew Jack's birthday before heading "over the hill".
Home, sweet home!
