Pendleton UAS & B25 Bomber

August 22, 2022 / / 0 Comments

We toured the Pendleton UAS (Unmanned Arial Vehicles) or Drones. The Pendleton UAS Range (PUR) is the Pacific Northwest’s premier UAS test range.

This was very fascinating to see some drones, but also how they have made this into a commercial success brining high paying jobs into the area.

After touring the UAS, we took a short drive to the Pendleton Armory where we able to see a B25 Bomber. This is the same bomber that was used for the “Doolittle Raid” on Tokyo in WWII. The Doolittle team trained in Pendelton for a short time.

The “Triple Nickle” also trained and was based in Pendleton; they were the only African-American parachute unit during World War II.

On Sunday, we traveled 88 miles to Four Seasons RV Resort in Walla Walla, Washington. We are in Site 25 with full hookups. Nice location. Walla Walla has a wonderful old downtown. Lots of wineries and brew pubs in the area.

On Friday, we toured Canoe Ridge Cellars and learned a lot about the local wine region and sampled many wines.

Afterwards, we went to the Walla Walla Wine Incubator. We spent time at SMAK, a Rose only startup. Very nice.

Pam and I visited Big House Brew Pub and tried a flight of beer and had nachos for lunch. Huge and tasty.

Added Washington – our 26th State.

Adding state #26 – Washington

Pendleton Saturday Night

August 20, 2022 / / 0 Comments

Saturday, we traveled 87 miles to Wildhorse Casino RV Campground outside of Pendelton, Oregon. Pam and I went to downtown to the Prodical Sun Brewery for a beer and a bite. The beer was great. I bought a couple of growler cans of “Righteous Indignation” a red beer. We had the General’s Cauliflower, and it was great. Deep fried Cauliflower with a spicy sauce.

We then walked around to see the town. We ran into “Get Wild in Pendleton” – Live music every Saturday night. the “High Milage Band” was playing country music. It was fun. We sat outside and had a couple of margaritas from Joe’s Fiesta Grill and Cantina. We stayed for 2 sets and really had a great time.

Haines & Baker City Museums

August 18, 2022 / / 0 Comments

On Thursday, we visited the Haines Eastern Oregon Museum and the Baker City Heritage Museum with Al and Betty Moody.

The Haines Museum has the feel of an old Antique store. They have groups of artifacts from the area that really show life in wild west. For example, they have the original telephone switchboard that was used until the 1960’s and Model T Ford.

The Baker City Museum is very professional, and well done. It is in the 100-year-old Baker Municipal Natatorium (aquatic center). They have a massive rock and gem exhibit as well as a Wally Byam exhibit (the founder of Airstream trailers). He was born in Baker City.
