Snake River RV Park, Huntington, Oregon
Today is a travel day! We are heading northwest into Oregon to stay for one night in Huntington.
We have been excited to see Hells Canyon but we thought it was about a 3.5 hour drive from where we are staying. Luckily, the owners of our campground, Cliff and Jeanette, told us that the beginning of the canyon is just outside of town! We drove on a small road, Snake River Rd., next to the river and saw beautiful vistas. There were lots of BLM boondocking areas on the road.
We highly recommend visiting Idaho and Snake River. It is a beautiful state and the river goes through gorges and canyons that offer spectacular sights. The river is also the border between Idaho and Oregon. Boise was clean and active. Add Idaho to your bucket list!

Wagontracks Campground RV & Storage, North Powder, Oregon
Daniel was invited to be an ambassador for American College of Lifestyle Medicine (ACLM) to work with medical schools. It is something he is really passionate about so we are excited that he has this opportunity.
We are traveling to North Powder, OR today for another one night stop. The campground owner, Steffi, was very warm and welcoming. She told us her family, the Ashwood’s, came to the area in 1879 on the Oregon Trail.
We also went to the National Historic Oregon Trail Interpretative Center. We got into the museum for free since Daniel has an America the Beautiful Pass. The museum was in a cool building and had nice exhibits with information on what it was like for the Oregon Trail travelers although there was a significant amount of taxidermy. Within the park there are actual ruts of the Oregon Trail and we were excited to be able to stand on them.
While letting Marcel out it the middle of the night, I saw the Milky Way and a rainbow around the moon as a train passed by next to the campground. It was magical.

Tall Chief RV Campground, Fall City, Washington
We had a wonderful stay at Wagontracks Campground RV & Storage. Steffi, the owner, was so kind and friendly and we felt we experienced good ol’ customer service.
We are traveling into Washington today. We decided to make this a really long travel day so we got up early to hit the road. We did five charging stops and ten hours of driving. We passed by some really cute towns we plan on checking out during our stay in this area. It was a long day but we got to our next campground with plenty of time to set up and make dinner.
