It was another pretty travel day – good weather and great scenery. Before we headed out, Bill thought one of the Tracker tires was low, so he got out the air compressor and filled it up. While doing so, he found a nail in the tire that he will get fixed in Redmond. It is always something but luckily nothing major so far.
We left Meridian KOA at 9:15 and drove the 40 miles to the OR state line where we picked up Oregon maps and info for the time we will be here. Then we went off the freeway on US 20 for 140 miles to Burns. I took lots of photos of the awesome scenery and will get them posted soon I hope.
We soon found that folks in eastern Oregon have a good sense of humor. We saw the Roadkill Ranch, Tattle Tale Lane, the Bates Motel, and Stinking Water Creek. It was a beautiful drive.
We got to Burns RV park and got settled in. This is a really pretty (but small) RV park. On a tree next to our site is a bird house. I haven’t figured out what birds are in it, but there is at least one larger baby that both parents kept coming back to feed. I am not sure how much food the baby was getting since the parents were in and out in a heartbeat. The RV park is full tonight with mostly folks that are going to the rally in Redmond.
We headed out and went to the grocery to pick up a few items. Then we went to Subway for dinner. I got a veggie sub on flatbread, and had it toasted. It was quite tasty. Then we went to Dairy Queen. We both have been wanting a Peanut Buster Parfait. Unfortunately they were all out of hot fudge. Bill got one with caramel instead of hot fudge, and I just passed. I will wait for another DQ.
The weather here is amazing – 76 degrees with 32% humidity. It should be nice all week at the rally which will be a god-send.
