Eastward Ho, Friday

We slowly and reluctantly packed up and left Walla Walla, Washington. We had certainly enjoyed both the town and surroundings . . . and were so slow getting ready, we didn't get on-the-road until almost noon.

On our first day on-the-road, we drove through Eastern Oregon which is quite rolling with lots of pretty big hills.


Much of the way we followed the Yakima River down through the valley on the Eastern side of the Continental Divide.


As we got into Southeastern Oregon, the land flattened out . . . and we could see for miles!



This was a very agricultural area . . . lots of vineyards, hay fields, and what appeared to be wheat; not Winter wheat like grown back in Kansas, maybe Summer wheat . . . or possibly some other grain.

We stopped for the night at Farewell Bend Truck Stop near Huntington, Oregon, close to the Idaho border. We had only covered 175 miles and we'll have to do better than that as Kansas is still a long way to go.
