The Oregon Trail

We spent two days traveling to Bend, Oregon following the Oregon Trail.  Although, I  must say compared to a wagon the RV wins out every time!  We did see miles and miles of fields of potatoes, corn and other veggies and every style tractor along the way.  There has been a lot of irrigation along the plains since the pioneers traveled through this area! (Jim was in Gardener Heaven!!)  Believe is or not, we even camped at the Glen's Ferry State Park ( This is where the wagons crossed the Snake River ) which was conveniently located behind the largest winery in Idaho!  You guessed what we did after parking our RV...wine tasting!  We went with open minds and ready to taste the fruits of the vine at the Carmela Vineyard!  After sipping several reds and whites, I decided on a blended white called Adelita Winarita!  Got the hint:  Think The Rio!  They recommend serving it over ice with salt on the rim of your glass and a squeeze of lime and you have a winearita!!!  If it wasn't for the live band, beautiful weather and surroundings, the stop at Carmela Vineyard  could have been skipped! The campground was located in a beautiful location along the Snake River!  The next morning, we left Idaho and heading up and over the hills to Bend, Oregon.
