Following set on, there are many lodging options available in LA Grande, OR as well as a nice RV park in Elgin.  Dry camping is available on RR property.  Saturday night, we will be spending the night in Enterprise, OR, so you will need to bring your overnight luggage with you on your Motorcar.  Lodging is not included in the price of the excursion, and lodging reservations must be made on your own.  More information will be available in the run pack 

Upon leaving Elgin, we will be riding along the peaceful Grande Ronde River.  Between Elgin and Minam, we are on a roadless section of track as we continue to follow the Grande Ronde River and then turn up the wild and scenic Wallowa River.  Our journey continues up the Wallowa River, eventually breaking out into some spectacular views of the Wallowa mountains.
