Oregon has become a bit of a black hole for us, a beautiful and amazing black hole filled with many new friends, but a swirling vortex nonetheless. So, it is somewhat ironic that we found ourselves driving down beautiful Route 380 today right into Post, Oregon…the claimed center of Oregon.
A few weeks ago, we almost made it to Idaho, but the Oregon vortex decided we should make a quick trip back to the Oregon coast to visit a friend with a medical emergency. Now, we have once again started back toward the Oregon border and Idaho…perhaps this time we will find a way to break free of the black hole’s gravitational pull…beam me up Scotty!
They’re back…funny, I was in the Elkhorns when you were and back at Floras Lake a few days after you left. The Maury mountains beyond Post have a lot of nice camping areas as does the Malheur Nat. forest. We are headed back out tomorrow to the desert east of Bend. Happy trails….Oregon has a lot of outback to take in. Tom
Hi TJ! The blog is quite a bit behind us. We have actually escaped from Oregon and are closing in on Utah!! Too bad we missed you at Boice-cope, it was like old home days.
