Life
If you give up your life - or any part of it - for the sake of Christ, He always finds ways to give it back to you.

"...I have come that they might have life, and that they have it more abundantly." (John 10:10)

Oregon Trail and dueling fiddlers

Entering eastern Oregon we were following parts of the historic Oregon Trail. We stopped at this Interpretive Center to learn more.

Inside was an excellent display of life size interactive dioramas of life on the trail:

Along with short videos and first-hand accounts...readings of people’s journals of their experiences.





Outside you could see the terrain the wagons had to cross in this area.

Old wagon ruts are still visible

A display of covered wagons


Later we stopped for the night at Emigrant Springs State Park, which was a stopover for the Oregon Trail Pioneers as well.

An lo’, another Old-Time Fiddler show, this time the Blue Mtn. (Oregon) group.


If it was a contest, these folks won. Many more performers.

Very organized, each person performed 2 songs.


These little girls enjoyed dancin’

Little cabin in the woods..

Next up...the Columbia River gorge, and two mini-get-togethers.
