Just called, and they do not have any firewood for sale. Like I said before, there should be a bunch on the ground that we can collect. @Luinil Explorations and I will be bringing some from home as well.
I’ll pick up a bundle today as well… just figured it would be easier down there instead of up here.

Thanks to everyone who came out!

We had a great time, and it was wonderful meeting @rstedy32 and his girlfriend, @dansun86 and his kids. We also had @David H and his daughter, @Luinil Explorations, @M Rose, myself, and my wife and daughter.

On Saturday, @rstedy32 went and explored looking for a possible path across the river. We ultimately didn't find one, and explored a road that had a couple of technical challenges that we ended up having to tackle during a pretty heavy rain storm.

On Sunday, we explored down the river, and ended up on a very narrow shelf road that dead ended. We managed to get turned around, and decided to go up a road that turned into a very steep loose hill climb of about 40-45 degrees. Of course, since I was in front, I ended up going first, which was not fun, bit made it up with no drama so to speak (other than my wife pooping bricks the whole time, but honestly, I was too a little bit.

On the way back to camp, we stopped and checked out an old harvester, a shack/lean-to, and an old army truck that's buried up to the frame.

On the way out, we had to descend down a very slick, mud covered windy road with a wall on one side, and a drop off on the other.

All in all a great weekend of exploring, and camping.

I cant wait to do it again next year!

I'll be posting my review in three parts.

Chava and I had a great time. I had been sick Wednesday-Friday and only started feeling better Saturday noon, when we decided to head off to adventure. I only got the last hour of my drive saved, so I guess it makes editing a lot easier... :-)

Here's Day1 of our Memorial Day Adventure into Mordor (S/E Oregon)...

Thank you to everyone who came this year. It was great seeing old friends and making new ones. A huge shout out to @reaver for putting this trip together and for driving all the way up here to La Grande to pick me up and take me home. I had an excellent time.

I am working on stitching my video together. And going through all the pictures I took. I should have something to post in the next few days.

Am getting somewhat caught up with my video backlog. I hope it brings back fond memories. Ann and I had a great time and enjoyed meeting all of you.

It was great meeting you and Ann. Hopefully next time we see each other my Bronco will be on the road.

You sent a picture to Liana, but not me? I'm insulted!!

Also, that looks REALLY good.
Liana is nicer... :sunglasses::sunglasses::sunglasses:. Really - I just added it to our last texts so it must have come from Liana's phone. You have so many phones - I'm jealous...
