Wallowa/Grande Ronde Part 2

Good evening readers, now is part 2 of the float...........




Rachel and I woke to beautiful sunny skies Wednesday morning.  We made coffee and packed out camp.  Within 2 hours we were floating down pristine water enjoying the sunshine and occasional wind gusts.  After about 13 miles we found our next camp.  Big landing area, spacious kitchen site and a few spots of sand to get our vitamin D (not to mention a great spot for poopin' with a view).  We popped a bottle of champagne and unloaded the raft.  After getting camp set up (as well as the BB gun course), I made round of margaritas and was given yet another lesson on how to put BB's into empty beer cans.  Did I ever get a 'thank you' for emptying those cans..............NOPE!  Not once!  More wine, cheese, fishless days and great grilled dinners came the next 2 days (not to mention more sunshine).  Pure relaxation.  We woke Friday morning and floated out the final 10 miles, packed up the gear and had margaritas and tacos in Hood River on the way home.  All in all, a good vacation!
