Exploring Wallowa County Oregon

Went exploring this afternoon.  Went up Bear creek to look at the proposed CG where the reunion will be.  Ken just kept telling me to turn here; turn there. We ended up the top of Bear Creek looking down on Lostine. 
Beautiful mountains.  I've never explored this side of the Wallowas before.

We just kept going.  I kept saying that we'd better be able to get out of here because I wasn't sure we could go back up the very narrow, slick, muddy spot.  Ken kept saying he was sure it came out and down on the Lostine River.

IT DIDN'T.  We came to a spot where there was a big slide.  We could see the Lostine River - only a few hundred feet.  OK turn around.
YUP!! There's where we wanted to be.  Lostine River.


OK Ken we only have one try through this - Are YOU up to driving?  Great - I'll just keep my yap closed.



Very narrow, muddy, big rocky road.  Hope we make it.  If not at least I know WHERE to walk to get help and it's not THAT far.  :)
And we made it out and went home.  Enough exploring for ONE day.
