I got up this morning and decided that I would no longer drive West to see what I missed on The Oregon Trail!!! Instead, I would check out Pendleton, Oregon for it's museums and interesting tourist stuff!!
Well, guess what??? It's Sunday and most of the things I want to see are closed!!!
I found that there was a good museum on the town history that included the Oregon Trail, but it was closed Sundays and holidays. I did check out the outside exhibits of the museum and found this really appropriate statue ---
There was also a one-room school house with a nice description about the school ---
Then, I drove around town and found out about and Underground Pedleton Tour. I tried the reservation number, but no one answered. I went to the gift shop where it starts and found a sign ---"Closed, Next Tour Appointment on Monday at 1:00 PM"!!! I am really lucking out, aren't I???
Then, since this is Pendleton (as in the shirts), maybe the factory would be open for tours!!?? Nope, closed today and tomorrow!!! But the store was open, so I went in!! Maybe I could at least buy a shirt!!?? Since I don't really need more shirts at this time, and I wasn't in a clothes buying mood, I left the store and came back to my RV Park and worked on these BLOGS. I got them all done, so I feel good about that!!!!
Well, now to do my weekly laundry (I have run out of clothes).
Tomorrow, I have decided to get up and take the trailer and go East. Tune in tomorrow night (or the next day) to find out how far I got, where I went, and what I saw!!!
So, with that, I will go for now, but I will see you all again tomorrow. Again, to quote that great comedian, Red Skelton, "Good Night and May God Bless!"
Happy Trails ---- Jon
