Road Trip: East Towards Idaho

Sun, 04 Sep 2005 23:59:59 -800

Our original trip plans involved us driving from John Day southeasterly towards US-26,
returning to I-84 via US-395, and going home in a single day. That is nowhere
near what actually happened. First of all, we had to go east on OR-218; by this
time, the sun was starting to set and it even was getting foggy out here! At
one point I arbitrarily decided that it would be a funny idea to drive on the
wrong side of the road, so I did (a9040182)! The entire drive to US26, we were
heading roughly downhill, which was a good thing because I was starting to get
low on gasoline and wasn't sure if I'd make it to an open gas station. There
were flat-top buttes along the way (a9040184); Jason captured some phenomenal
grey silhouettes at sunset (a9040185).
