We had a nice lunch at the Cheyenne Cafe in the town of Joseph, Oregon before stocking up on food supplies for the cabin we’d be staying in at nearby Wallowa Lake. The service was friendly and the food was good. I had a classic garden burger with onion rings and hot tea. Which got me to thinking all over again about my dream diner and Burger Number Sevens.
We learned from our waiter that there was a rodeo coming up in a couple of days. Joseph holds an annual rodeo that’s really big, called "Chief Joseph Days," but this rodeo coming up was merely a small fund-raiser for the high school. Only local cowboys would be performing and the money was used for college scholarships. Last year they raised enough for three $1,000-dollar scholarships. That’s pretty good!
After lunch, we had a nice walk around town, picked up some brochures at the Information Booth on the sidewalk and some groceries at the local food market, and then headed out to our cabin on Wallowa Lake. The Wallowa Lake State Park web site has a video that illustrates some of the beautiful scenery there.
