Ansel and Seb discuss rabbits and turtles.. (that's what Seb has in his hands and what's in the aquarium)
Should be in Bend this afternoon... funny the last 250 miles are the longest...
We left Ontario much later than I had planned... Imagine that ????? We stopped on the way out of town to visit with Courtney, Sebastian and Shan. (Jason was working) They had moved from Bend to Ontario last summer, so we hadn't seen the baby in several months. They are doing very well, Jason has a good job with a HVAC company over there. We finally got on the road again... Saw this new sign on some silos just outside of Vale. I lived in Vale for several years in the early 80's.
I'd forgotten they (Vale) have their very own "Bates Motel", so since I had made reference to it so many times during the trip, I couldn't resist snapping a picture for the blog.
Finally on down the river, we went as we made our way across the high desert... it had been a long time since I had driven between Vale and Burns. There was a time when I had all the corners named. It's a pretty drive. I was surprised to see that they still had snow on Cottonwood. And then as we made our way to Harney County, I was even more surprised to see snow still on Drinkwater and Stinkingwater.
Yup, back in Harney County... (Hwy 20 going up the grade just before Pine Creek)
Almost there.. 134 miles to Bend, but of course we have to stop in Burns... April 11 and there is still snow on Burns Butte.
