Day 3

I spent most of the day on dirt roads in the North part of Death
Valley. I drove 200 miles in the middle of NO WHERE. I only saw 3
other cars all day until I got to the paved roads of death valley.

I found out the temperature gauge on the Sybaru maxes out at 100, so
I'm not sure how hot it got today. It wouldn't surprise me if it was
in excess of 120. Earlier today it was in the 90s at 7000 feet. It's
9:43pm now. I'm camped at 2100 feet and it's a cool 91 degrees :)

Day 2

I took some pictures along the Deschutes River yesterday. It's a little early in the season so there weren't too many rafters though. After that I went to Painted Hills which is part of John Day Fossile Beds National Monument. Tonight I'm in Reno and will be leaving early tomorrow morning toward Death Valley. The rest of the photos are here.





What's up with OR and their ridiculous speed limits?!
It was 36 degrees this morning. It's already 60.
