It's hard to explain to people what the reservation is like. To say that it's rural is the understatement of a lifetime. John honestly grew up outside of the realm of civilization. The other night we ran out of milk and it was an hour round trip to get a gallon. On a typical day on the drive from John's house to either Athena or Pendleton you are likely to see wild horses, eagles, turkeys, deer, elk, and some days even a cougar. For G especially, this is like Disney World. He loves nothing more than driving up the river "hunting", hanging out with his cousins eating the days kill, and getting in quality time with his Papa. Oh, and not far away, there is Hal's Hamburgers -- best fry sauce anywhere.
