Leave our nice place and head out on 2 lane highways for the day. We drive 356 miles through twisty -turney roads. Lunch in Hilander (Burns, OR) at a nice Chinese place. When passing an RV today I then saw the biggest Eagle I have seen in 10 years. He was perched on a telephone pole with his side/back to me. It was 3+ feet from head to tail. I thought it was a vulture at first til I saw the head, then knew it was an eagle. Immediately after we saw a flying eagle and a flying hawk.
Growing onions and other crops everywhere around here.
Drove past Alkali lakes and took photos. Many were dry, and they all smell slightly of rotting eggs.
Left Ontario around 10:45am Mtn time and got to Klamath Falls OR about 7pm Pac time. Over an 8 hour driving day with no interstate. We are very tired the last hour.
This part of Oregon is still the high desert (much like nevada) to the south of our road and then more green and mountainous to the north- we drove along this edge to avoid the high temps (114+ F) in northern Nevada this week.
