Pendleton, OR



In Pendleton, Oregon. Can't tell from looking at it but think the town's money was in ranching once upon a time. Known for its great "Round Up" rodeo. Never been to that, but you know any town that puts "Hear the air raid siren at noon" on its tourist things to do list goes straight on my bucket list.

Not as cute as I thought it would be. Not really a concentrated cool area to walk around in. You have to go seek out neighborhoods with interesting old houses scattered about. They could have at least bunched them together. :) Sorry, Pendleton, but Winthrop, WA gets higher marks on my "Cute Western town" scale.

Tomorrow back through Walla Walla - so nice I have to swing through twice - to hit another twisty road, then its all highway all the way home.
