Where’s home?

This is my friend Marilyn (right) with me on a scenic spot in Oregon.
Marilyn’s husband Larry took the picture.

Jet boating

June 29, 2008

Just a few shots from my three-day adventure including a trip by jet boat from the landing 70 miles due west of Riggins on the Snake River.

The regular bus couldn’t maneuver the winding mountain road from Riggins on the Salmon River to the landing on the Snake River, so we all boarded the school bus for that part of the ride.

Here we go! I was so busy looking that I didn’t take many pictures, but here’s one. We were all soaking wet before the trip was over.

We stopped a few times, once to see this old settlement from the 1860s. This building is called the log cabin “mansion,” and it is certainly a spacious modern house for its day.

Ironing board, iron, wood stove–all the comforts of a modern life.

We chose the smaller of the two jet boats for the trip. That’s Judy, my traveling partner and friend from many years back.
