Outing at Castle Rocks

Yesterday after church my family went to Castle Rocks in Elmore County (just west of Camas County) for a picnic. Afterwards, we followed directions provided by an OCTA contact to the site of an Indian attack on a small wagon train in the 1850s. As it turns out, I had been to the site this spring with Jim and Patti McGill to mark the Jeffrey-Goodale Cutoff trail portion that runs through the area. Thanks to Jerry and Fred for helping me locate the "mini-massacre" site! The September weather was gorgeous! I'll be posting more photos here and on my Web site soon.
