It’s about 35 to 40 minutes from our place on the west side of Portland to the turnoff.

For being in the city, that's not too bad. Here in La Grande it's just a quick zip up the Dump road or on the freeway towards Mt. Emily. Quick and easy.

We lived in Ellensburg for several years until 1973 and I miss being so close to the boonies. I loved the seasons there, the river bottom aroma at dusk on the Yakima River. Carpentering in the summer did get a little hot but we could hit the river with inner tubes and cool off after work. Nice way to live.
