| Some Light Fare We call Thin Gruel. |
Thirteen miles east of Milton-Freewater, Oregon at the end of a blind draw, the small but picturesque Harris RV park awaits. Spots can and should be reserved. The park has fifteen spots or so, a host of amenities mostly aimed at families, and a comfortable, friendly feeling. We visited in April, so access was easy, although the park was full by evening of our arrival on Friday. It was the first time I'd backed the trailer into a site. I was a little tight on one side, but I didn't scrape any of the aluminum off, so I kept the first try. We stayed two nights. The first morning, we enjoyed a leisurely breakfast and then rode forty miles in and around Milton-Freewater. To begin, we coasted the thirteen miles back into town and then meandered along flat roads among the fruit trees. The riding was pleasant. It was warm, little wind, and even the climb back to the campground was gentle. We packed up the next morning, parked the rigs in Waitsburg, WA. From there we rode a forty mile loop around the wheat fields. While beautiful, our springtime conditioning was suspect in terms of easily riding the sharply steep hills around Walla Walla. Nonetheless, the adventure proved to be exactly what we needed, if not exactly what we wanted. Regardless, in the end we all felt that life was good, especially today.
A tight fit and a little too far right, but it worked.
