July 14 Enterprise, Wallowa Co, Oregon
Fancy. Nearby is a lodge, store, rental cabins, pack station,
roller rink, and go-cart concession. The area is pretty
(forested with big timber) but cheaply commercialized. Too

park has evening campfire talks 3 nights a week.
I drove back to Two Pan arriving sometime after 10pm.
July 15 Two Pan, Wallowa Co. to Eagle Cap Pk, Union Co., Oregon
Beautiful clear, warm day. I got a late start, getting
up at 8AM, then eating & packing & finally hitting the
trail at 10:15 AM. There were a number of people on
the trail before & probably after me. Along the
lower mile of trail the following species were
noted: Dipper, Winter Wren, Red-shafted Flicker,
Varied Thrush, Hermit Thrush, Audubon Warbler,
Townsend Warbler, Ruby-crowned Kinglet. Further
along (2.5 to 3 miles) at Lost Lake Spotted Sandpipers
were common. Robins & R-C. Kinglets were also seen.
A short ways above the lake I again stopped
& hand caught 2 Eastern Brook Trout (6 & 7 inches).
Trout are everywhere. They dart out from, under, the
banks of the river or small brooks with your
every step.
Arrived in a small basin at 8500 ft. on
the north side of Eagle Cap Pk at 3PM after a most
leisurely trip. Set up camp here with boulders on
3 sides of me & snow on the other (so). A good sized
creek arrives from the snow. A small (4x20 ft)
