We are in Oregon

We spent our first night in Oregon camped at the fairgrounds in Baker City, in order to do some filming at the wagon camp circle at the Oregon Trail Interpretive Center near town. Our first full day in Oregon had us in the vans and vehicles driving to an overlook site in the Blue Mountains between LaGrande and Pendleton, and then on west to The Dalles, where we turned south toward Tygh Valley and west toward Mt. Hood. As we made this journey, our students had no idea of the destination, but they were certainly pleased to arrive at our first campsite in the Mt. Hood National Forest.

Even though this camp was in an old gravel pit, it was ringed by forest and being far away from any town, was dark and quiet.
