One interesting bit of trivia is that Labor Day was suggested as a national holiday to honor the country’s working people. Oregon became the first state to make Labor Day a legal holiday in 1887. With all this hype about discrimination, that certainly leaves those that have to maintain services regardless of holidays with the short end of the stick. Or how about those physically-able welfare people who choose not to work and live off the system? Perhaps they’ll need to promote a holiday for non-workers. But my system was invigorated by a three-day horseback outing in the Eagle Cap Wilderness area of the Wallowa Mountains. By joining a group of horse enthusiasts from the Hermiston area it gave new meaning to “ over the hill” . I presumed that “ The Over The Hills Gang” title referred to members’ ages. But what it actually means is that if there’s a hill to be climbed— go for it. Treking up manmade trails on steep rocky hillsides takes nimble footwork. And I really thought they were pulling my leg when they said we were going to find a way to the top. But reaching those rugged peaks and looking down on places like Steamboat Lake gives one a heady feeling. And there were other lakes tucked in surprising places that were fed by the snowdrifts. Spring wildflowers including buttercups and birdbills were bravely soaking up the summer sun before once again being covered by snow. Feeling secure on four-legged horsepower, we smugly visited with the more adventurous back-packers that inched everywhere like a colony of ants. They are definitely a hardy lot. I couldn't have hoisted myself up those trails on foot, let alone carry a tent, sleeping bag and provisions. However there were also llamas, donkeys and mules being used as pack animals. I even saw a dog carrying a pack. Those llamas provided some trail entertainment for horsebackers. In the parking lot at Two Pan campgrounds on the Lostine River, llamas caused some horses to freak out. And then there were the sad-eyed mules tied head to tail belonging to professional packers. As a new face (actually a very old one) for this horse club, I was given the royal treatment. Steaks, pancakes, biscuits with gravy and all the trimmings were generously cooked up. While I’m not a fancy camper, using my horse trailer for a bedroom after shoveling out you-know-what, I enjoyed the best kind of ‘end of the trail’ celebra tion. But after three days of splashing in cold river water, a hot shower and indoor plumbing were most welcome. Fortunately I don’t even have a bruise or a limp to attest to my mark of courage—or lack of good sense. the entertainment. Porta potties will be available at the trail end. “ This is not a glamorous ride,’ according to Glaya Baker of Boardman, event organizer. “ The diaries and journals indicate the original trip through Morrow County was bleak and dusty. The goal is for everyone to have lots of fun, socialize, make new friends and experience some of the history of Morrow County along the Oregon Trail.” Participants with appropriate costumes are encouraged to wear them. Prizes for most authentic costumes will be given. Rules to participate include: ab solutely no smoking because of the fire danger; a liability waiver must be signed; stay on the trail; no littering tolerated; bring your own horse if you plan to ride; red flags on kicking horses; and horses with shoes recommended. For more information, contact Glaya Baker, 481-7488; Shelly Riekkola, 481-2984; Karen Lunders 922-3518 or the Morrow County Extension O ffice, ant at.
