A little trip through the desert and back to Oregon

So this morning we happily left Reno. Rather than taking the typical interstate, we continued on the back road journey, taking the old highway for as much of the route that made sense. We didn't do much than drive today, so pretty much all you're going to see is pictures from the car, but we did drive for about 10 hours! We made a ton of progress and ended up in Salem, OR for the night, which is about an hour past our target.


The first few hours were through a sort of desert


Salt-flats. There were a bunch of cars there getting ready for runs. I wanted to try it. 


I'll sell this print to you for $25.00



When we crossed the Nevada/California border, all cars were directed to an inspection station. I swear they were checking for Mexicans. 


Mt. Shasta















This was a massive lake on the maps...completely dry!




 A little recap on the day. We drove a lot! Oregon is such an impressively beautiful state.

The sky was beautiful today, some of the photos reflect that. All credit to Claire on the driving photos.

Again- we drove a lot!

Tomorrow we've got about 6.5 hours lined up before reaching home. We both hope you've enjoyed following along on the blog! We've certainly enjoyed writing about it and having this as a bit of a keepsake.
