From my home in Yakima, WA it a little over two hours to drive to Pendleton, OR. My cousin Michelle was born there so that’s my tie to Pendleton but I never really stopped long enough in all my trips to the Blue Mountains to take a look at the town on my way there. On 6-21-23 I finally made a trip to Oregon, however not to the Blue Mountains but to Pendleton to take a look at what I had skipped for so many years.
