On the Road Again

I didn't rush to leave, even though I had another long drive ahead of me. I repacked my duffel and made myself a salad for lunch. Unfortunately, the refrigerator froze my lettuce... well, it froze everything! I was able to find some usable leaves. The cucumber was garbage. 😔.

I was on the road at 10ish after getting gas. My route took me on another very deserted road as I headed towards Oregon. Once across the border, I stopped at Fields Station, which is famous for their milkshakes. My salad would have to wait until dinner. I had a $7.50 shake that was huge!

The rest of the drive was uneventful. I stopped in Burns, OR for gas and ice. But I waited until I got to a rest stop 15 minutes out of Burns to clean out the cooler and put the new ice in. I followed US 20 for most of the rest of the way, stopping at Brothers, OR (take that Sisters) to stretch my legs. There were prairie dogs everywhere. Very cute watching them pop up from their holes.

I left US 20 to go north to Prineville, where I am staying. There was some sort of off-road vehicle event, where I had to stop to let them cross the road.Read more
