Introduction

We are off to.... is our Blog to allow family, friends, and others that are interested to follow us on our extended RV travels.

We aren't full time RVers but like to take extended trips of a month or more as often as we can. We prefer public agency campgrounds like State and National Parks, US Forest Service, etc. We do use some RV Parks if they are the closest or most convenient place to things we want to see or do.


We will attempt to provide information on the various campgrounds we stay in, things to do in the area, and pictures of what we see.

Washington - Oregon Trip Wrapup

Wallowa Lake

We spent the rest of the week just visiting with friends that arrived on Thursday.  We went out to favorite eating establishments for various meals at the lake and in Joseph, OR.  The Cheyenne Café is the favorite for breakfast, the R & R Drive-In makes great burgers and shakes for lunch when we were in town.  The La Laguna Mexican Restaurant in Joseph is good and Vali's at the lake is a definite favorite for dinner. 

On Saturday and Sunday Vali's makes pastries that you have to order ahead to be sure they are available so it is just pastries and coffee.  They only serve dinners Wednesday thru Sunday and there is only one item on the menu each day.  We have eaten there on various nights in the last few years and loved whatever they choose to serve.

Saturday night we (the four couples) had a potluck barbeque with each bringing their choice of meat.  It was great fun with all the joking and ribbing that goes on all week.

We pulled out early Sunday morning (on the road at 7 am) heading for home.  As it is a 13+ hour drive we stopped at Winnemucca, arriving about 4 pm.

We have never been very satisfied with the RV Parks available in Winnemucca but a new one opened in the last couple of years which is suitable for the location.  New Frontier RV Park is on the east end of town had has a small casino and a Wingers restaurant adjacent to the park.

The pull through sites are paved and level and long enough for the longest of rigs.


There is only gravel between sites but this is the desert of Nevada.


Additional back-in sites are gravel but long and level.


We were on the road by 8 am and had lunch in Carson City, NV and after a detour near home arrived around 2 pm.  I am ready for the cool weather we had at Wallowa Lake as it was 98 when we arrived home and will be up to 102 for the rest of the week.

It was a great month on the road and we are glad to be home again except for the heat.  Already thinking where we want to go next.
