(This fellow got to Farewell Bend State Park before I did.)
Temperatures started to drop the minute we crossed into fall. It’s still pleasant, running from about 75 to 82 most days, and good sunshine.
Tomorrow I’m spending the day with the church family at the Farewell Bend State Park just a ways out of Ontario. I’ve never been to that place, although I’ve driven past the signs pointing to it dozens of times. I thought it was a park on the river where you could park your RV. Now I’m learning it’s quite a ways from the Snake River and accommodates tents as well as RVs. The stalwart among us are leaving this afternoon and spending the whole week end there. I’m leaving about 8 a.m. so I can be there in time for services. My dog and best friend Rusty is going with me.
I noticed at least two families, my bro’s and my assistant’s, who are taking off this Sabbath but are not going to the church campout. Dave and Miriam are headed north to see their daughters Lora and Arline in Pendleton and College Place, possibly camping on the way. Kay wouldn’t tell me where they’re going. Says it’s a secret.
