Road Trip: Northeastern Oregon

Mon, 05 Sep 2005 23:59:59 -800

Heading west on I-84,
I took pictures of the sign at the Oregon border (a9050359), a piece of art
commemorating the Oregon Trail pioneers (a9050360), and a whole lot of
nothingness for about one-hundred fifty miles. The best way to take in this
album is simply to look at the album, as there really isn't much to comment on.
The Snake River (a9050377) runs along the Idaho/Oregon border and the Union
Pacific rail lines run alongside I-84. Baker City, La Grande and Pendleton
were pretty much the only cities of note along the freeway; outside of
Baker City, we noticed a cop lurking low in the median among the weeds, followed
by a pair of cops (a9050405) parked Smokey and the Bandit style about
a quarter-mile later. Can you say speed trap?
