Welcome To The Harvest of Fun Rally

OR-E-GUN Bounders are excited to host you at Bounders United 2012 Rally. The rally is located in the small town of Odell, nestled between the Columbia River and Mt Hood eight miles from Hood River and the Columbia River, with a population of just over 2,000 people. A quiet agricultural town, it is surrounded by vineyards, fruit orchards and lavender farms.

We have a fun time planned with excellent seminars, vendors, meals, entertainment and Red Hat Luncheon – just to give a sampling. Come experience the splendor of Mt. Hood, the Columbia River Gorge and the Harvest of Fun Rally.

Naming of Mt Hood & Hood River

In October 1792, the Vancouver Expedition discovered and named Mt. Hood, in honor of Lord Hood of British Admiralty. In 1805 the Lewis and Clark Expedition named the glacial stream Labeasche River. The river is a tributary of the Columbia River and begins with three separate forks on Mount Hood. The main river, about 35 miles in length, flows through the heart of the agriculture center along Route 35.
