Fifth Day To Jordan Val
ley, via Frenchglen 216 miles
Here we began the most
ehallenffins laDs of the triD:
The negotiation of the 48 un
charted, unposted miles from
the Hart Mountain Antelope
Refuge headquarters to
Frencnglen.
The roadmap is no help here.
There is but one do bit of ref-
x erence along the dusty, stony
track. That is Rock Creek
Ranch. oriffinallv an outmst of
the sprawling cattle domain of
.rete iTencn. The cluster oi
weather-stained buildings is a
welcome sight to the motorist,
who has been feelin? his wav
for 30 miles or so through sage-
orusn and grease wood, easing
his tires over the volcanic out-
croppings of the primitive
road. During one hour of
steady driving we covered just
n miles. Clusters of llies nes
tled sluggishly on the hood of
the car.
' The Millers, current proprie
tors oi kock creek, Dave been
known to stake travelers to a
full tank of gasoline and re
fuse to accept payment For
all, they offer the hospitality
of their fenced front yard
through the center of which
the road passes.
Hotel Welcome Site 1
From Rock Creek to French
glen, the going is relatively
easy, the road, Dy mid-August,
having become a smooth path,
rim-deep in dust, but happily
free of rocks.
We arrived at the welcome
oasis of the Frenchglen hotel
t an opportune time; ie., in
time for lunch. There we were
told mat no one in sound mind
would attempt to pull a 2,000
pound house trailer over the
road we had just left.
The Frenchglen hotel is a
southeastern Oregon 1 a n d
mark. Eleanor Pruitt is a
charming hostess, and the ta
bleshe sets is justly celebra
ted. A stop mere should cer
tainly include at least one
meal. That we had, modestly
described as "luncheon," con
sisted of the following dishes,
each heaped high and with a
capacity adequate for three or
four servings around: Macaro
ni, meat balls, hashbrown pota
toes, fried fresh corn, fresh
peas, cabbage with bacon,
tossed green salad plus pitch
er after pitcher of iced tea,
home-baked bread and, to top
it off, sweet prune pie. The
cost: $1 each.
Frenchglen nestles at the
southern end of the marshy
valley of the Bhtzen River, the
heart of Hie Malheur National
Wildlife Refuge. One can drive
north over a graveled route
paralleling graveled state
highway No. 205, directly
through the bird nesting
grounds and past F e '
French's old headquarters, the
P Ranch. Here, is one of the
n a t i o n's greatest wildfowl
nurseries,,one may see at var
ious times more than 200 spe
cies of the wing. All resident
species are abundant from
April to September. The mi
grants the beautiful snow
goose, the whistling swan and
others are plentiful during
March and October.
Pavement Reached Again
We drove north from French
glen to the Wildlife Refuge
headquarters on the southern
shore of shallow Malheur
Lake, on the site of the Old
Sod House built by trappers m
1862. Many road maps do not
show this showplace. but it
should not be missed. Although
gardening is a risky business
in the area because of the
early frost, Charles Hansen,
custodian, is responsible for
the most beautiful lawns and
flowerbeds we saw east of the
Cascades.
The headquarters settlement
is a good overnight stopping
point. A trailer camping
ground is under development,
and one can swim in the Sod
House spring, the largest in the
refuge.
Just to the east of, the refuge
headquarters, we struck the
pavement again after more
than a day and 150 miles on

more primitive surfaces. We
liked where we had been, but
we let out a whoop in concert
when we rolled back on the
smooth, center-lined belt with
which the American motorist
is pampered.
For 100 miles, south and
east, we traveled through the
sage-strewn wastes of the Ore
gon portion of the Great Basin
Desert. It would help here if
occasionally the narrow shoul
der was widened at least far
enough to pull a trailer to the
side of the road.
Even when we came to the
rim of the rich Jordan Valley,
we could see little of it from
U.S. Highway No. 95. One must
leave the interstate route and
travel through Arock and Dan
ner to appreciate how the
Basques and their neighbors
have made the valley bloom.
That night we tied up in the
back yard of a hotel in the cen
ter of Jordan valley (pop. 218).
It was Saturday night We had
looked forward to a rousing
time in the trading center of
a cattle country. But after a
few early evening whoops-
more of the rock-and-roll than
the cowboy variety the town
was as silent as the desert
around. The teen-agers, we
were told, were dancing at a
nearby ranch. Thus has the
motor age tamed the range.
Sixth Day To Wallowa
Lako, via Ontario, Baker and
La Grande 233 miles.
This was the longest of the
eight days' drive out a rela
tively easy one because of the
high quality of the highways.
We touched Idaho on U.S. 95.
through Homedale and Parmai
welcoming the irrigated oasis
of the Snake River Valley aft
er the many miles of the Great
Basin Desert ,
Route 30 east from Ontario
and from Baker is especially
good, newly-surfaced, its
grades nearly all three or four
lane, built comfortably to the
specifications of the interstate
network.
The Grande Ronde Valley is
a rich one, but scarcely more
than a prelude to the lush Wal
lowa Valley, which, even in
August, is green and inviting.
The approach though Minam
Canyon magnificent, al
though we can both remember
the day when the ascent there
was one of the most chilling
experiences offered in a state
with plenty of steep highway
grades.
During our days in the desert
we had found little opportunity
to turn off the road to utilize
the trailer for a mid-morning
or mid-afternoon snack. But
along the white waters of the
Wallowa River there is an at
tractive picnic or camping spot
at every turn in the highway
and there are plenty of
turns. At each there is good
fishing at the trailer step, and
we saw many fishing parties
on the August . afternoon we
passed by.
