Today’s route took us south on Highway 97 to Bend, Oregon and then east on Highway 20 to Ontario, Oregon on the Snake River/Idaho border. Central Oregon isn’t much to look at on the drive until the farming area West of Ontario. Stinking Water Pass or Drinking Water Pass (don’t confuse them) may have been the highlight. Or the town of Millican (nothing left.) Or was it the town of Juntura population 160? I don’t know, all the excitement blends them together.
Nice ‘Welcome to Idaho’ roadside rest near the Snake River, which turned out to be our lunch stop. Ham sandwich, potato salad and a chocolate chip cookie. After lunch we followed Interstate 84 generally Southeast to Twin Falls, Idaho. Once again, not the most scenic drive but comfortable on the interstate. Found the Best Western without trouble and after checking in decided on snacks for dinner. Wine (her), rum and coke (him), cheese, crackers and salami. Who could have a problem with that? Neal and Phil, we were thinking of you! 478 miles today.
