Trip to Hell's Canyon, Oregon July '09

We went to Hell's Canyon to visit Candy's uncle, Jim. He showed us where he drives cattle down some pretty steep hills! This canyon is the deepest in the USA!!
Arriving in Joseph, OR

An original sign!
Lots of pretty Indian Paintbrush all around the area
Some of these roads are pretty "freaky"!!
Jim took us to the rodeo at Joseph, OR

Ouch, glad I'm not him!
