Sumpter Dredge |
We left our campsite at
8 am and headed east on US-26. I decided to head north to Baker City
via OR-7. This way we could make a stop at Sumpter Oregon.
At Sumpter we stopped
the Sumpter Dredge State Park. The Dredge use to work the Sumpter
Valley pulling gold out of the river bottom. It is an actual Dredge
that has been preserved. The narrow gauge Steam RR Sumpter Valley also
stops here. We did not get to see the train do to our schedule. After
touring the Dredge we continued on.

After Baker City we
hopped on I-84 for our eastward journey passing through Boise. We hit
a major thunder storm passing through Twin Falls with very high
crosswinds. We arrived at Pocatello 6 PM MDT. I often travel to
Pocatello on business so I showed the family around this small town.
We then ate at one of my more favorite restaurants, Wingers. then we
stayed the night at a KOA.
Continue to Day
3: Pocatello to Yellowstone via
Jackson and Grand Tetons.
