An arduous e-bike adventure
December 21, 2023 /0 Comments/in Uncategorized, Walla Walla Union Bulletin /by Dennis DaubleI push my bicycle past a concrete barrier that prevents four-wheeler access to the South Fork of the Umatilla River, strap on a backpack that holds a water bottle and a peanut butter sandwich, and begin the upriver journey to Thomas Creek.

August 15, 2022 /0 Comments/in Salmon Trout Steelheader /by Dennis DaubleOur summer float trip on northeastern Oregon’s Wallowa River started off with Ken admitting that he had left a large bag of fresh-made cookies on the kitchen counter. “How many did you make?” Ted asked. “Sixty.
