Monday July 9


Decided to stay another day here, took the kayaks out in the morning to the lake. Cloudless sky, the wind was calm, and the water very clear, with a green tint. You could see 30-40 ft down. There were a lot of fish visible and a number of boats were out fishing near where the Wallowa River drains into the south end of the lake. At the other end, powerboats were pulling wakeboards and skiers. Snow capped peaks towered over the south end. This is one of the prettiest campgrounds we have been in.

Rode a shuttle bus 6 miles into the town of Joseph. We ate at a Mexican restaurant for lunch and wandered through the rest of the town for a couple of hours. The town is known for its 2 bronze foundries, there are bronze artwork and statues lining the main road through town. Spent a quite evening in the park, enjoying the rest of a gorgeous day.
