Straddling state lines
Yesterday's drive started off in Idaho, crossed over to Washington state for 100 miles and then into Oregon. I drove all the way down US 395, a road I have driven dozens of times from Reno south, but I have never been on this part of 395. It's quite nice, some forest and a lot of high desert and no one on the road. The speed limit in OR is 55 mph, which doesn't work for me, of course, so I sped along at 75. No cops. Drove along some beautiful lakes, flat, almost like salt lakes and ended up in a teeny town last night called Lakeview, although it doesn't really have a view of the lake but perhaps in the olden days it did. It does have a few of many unsavory looking houses and a lot of dead grass. Today I am looking forward to passing Goose Lake which straddles the California and Oregon border.
I should be back in the bay area in a couple of days. Today I think I will be able to stop near Sacramento and see where my Mom is now living, since she has moved into a kind of retirement community and I yet to see it. After that, who knows.
Goose Lake, supposedly. Although these two photos don't look like the same lake! I soon will know which one is the imposter, which is the true lake.
