Travelling to Enterprise

Our tour over, I drove us eastward on US-26 to the junction of OR-7. From
there, I faced the challenge to pass _five_ RVs to avoid having to fly up a
mountain pass at 25mph in a 55 zone. After many more miles of back-country
farms and rural settings, we reached Baker City and went northwest on I-84 to
La Grande. From there, we took OR-82 around the Wallowa Mountains to the sleepy
town of Enterprise, passing many a green field full of rolling sprinkler
equipment. We passed up dinner at the Video & U-Bake Pizza joint for Ming Li, a
Chinese/American restaurant on the edge of town. To be honest I wasn't
expecting much, but upon entering noticed that the wait staff and cooks were
all Chinese from the old country, and the food was actually quite good. One odd
quirk though--I had to ask for chop sticks; the waiter was floored when Jason
asked for a pair as well. Strange habits, we Californians have...
