My destination? The Wallowa mountains. This is on a strong suggestion from my coworker here in Portland. He tells me it's a beautiful area with good fishing. I'm all packed and will be leaving in about 4 hours, but I still don't have a destination nailed down! The Lostine River was suggested to me and I was planning on that until I read online last night that it's heavily trafficked and best avoided on weekends. I can't imagine what that means for Labor Day weekend.
I'm now trying to find a reasonable way to get to the Minam river inside the Eagle Cap Wilderness. So far my best route is going to be a 12 mile hike. That's a little farther than I was hoping for, but it will at least mean the river/trails shouldn't be busy.
I'm going to continue thinking about this and I will have to talk to my coworker when he gets in (yes I'm at work), but I'll update you all on my way out the door where I'm headed.
If I don't post something by Wednesday evening next week you'll need to get Search and Rescue out to look for me!
