Back From Vacation

We're back from vacation last week we went to the mountians.
We went on motor cycles this was refreshing and fun.
Hubby did some fly fishing his new hobby.
I took a novel did some reading, rested and regrouped.
Loved the full breakfast where we stayed the first night.

While we were vacationing we found a community days event
where we were staying in a place not far from here.
Orofino's Lumberjack Days and county fair were under way
we enjoyed the brief displays and booths and vendors
in this small logging town.
Was the first stop 30 miles from home at a new motel.

Then next day was at three rivers in Lowell Ida.
a place we've stayed before with only one TV channel
more reading and rest for me while hubby checked out
places to fish, saw three moose and a bear.

We came home between jaunts to do laundry
restock some supplies and repack the motor cycles.
I was grateful for my new chaps when we saw a downed bike
with the rider on the ground waiting for the ambulance.
We drove extra careful and heard more details when we stopped for lunch.

Then we were off to the Oregon border and to Wallowa Lake area.
One of our favorite spots to camp and vacation.
The salmon were spawning and we enjoy walking by the creek
to see this. Even though I've seen this before it always amazes me.
We rode the tram aka gondola to the top of the mountains and
too the hike on the trail that told about tundra and other
points of interest with breathtaking views.
It was the last warm week of summer
with perfect timing we arrived home one hour before the fall rains came.
