ida-what?

Hello once again!

 

We are now in Pomeroy, Oregon. By tomorrow, we'll be in IdaHO!! Since Umatilla, we have had some adventures. We stayed at Hat Rock State Park with an old man who we have nicknamed "Wacko". We didn't want to pay for the campground there, so we asked him if we could stay in his front lawn. He talked, and talked, and talked, and went off on a lot of tangents. It was less of a conversation between us, but more of him just going off about things. But he was nice enough to let us stay there.

 

The next day we woke up before 5 am to beat the heat. It got up to over 90 degrees. We rode through Touche (prounounced Too-shee, Talia: not two-shay) There was a big store there so we got some water and continued through Walla Walla (where we had lunch) and finally ended our day at the bottom of a long downhill in Waitsburg. As we were picking up groceries, we met an old man named Roger who overheard us talking about finding a place to stay, and he offered us his lawn. He and his wife, Laura were the nicest people I've ever met!

 

They took us to the local swimming pool, then Karen, Seager, and I were craving burgers (protein!) so we treated ourselves to a huge sub and lots of mini-burgers. Then we went back to Laura and George's place and they had baked strawberry shortcakes for us. They even served it on their nice china that they bought in Europe (they also served us drinks in Murano glass, for those of you who know what I mean). We all talked a lot about our families and traveling. Finally, we were tired and they offered us their basement to sleep for the night. In the morning they cooked us a wonderful breakfast (oatmeal, toast, fresh fruit) before we headed out.
