August 21st

We aimed for 7:30 AM, but didn’t actually leave until 8:45. After driving for a whole 2 minutes, I realized I’d left something at home. So we turned around, discovered I didn’t actually leave it, and left again. The weather was cloudy cold until we got to Detroit Lake. It was beautiful – and hot – after that. Our route was over Santiam Pass, a stop in Sisters at my favorite restaurant (The Depot Deli), and then on through Burns, Ontario, and finally to Boise. That’s where we are staying tonight.

Not a real exciting day, but the scenery across eastern Oregon is quite beautiful, if you like the high desert. And I do. That’s it for today.
