Day 1: Woodinville to Spray, OR (207 miles) - On the Road Again


Well the Westy, fondly nicknamed "Hot Tamale" is running cool these days after a some major engine work this Spring. So we are off on our adventure of the road less traveled or (There and Back Again Part 2). We left home on Sep 9th. and drove the back roads to Eastern Oregon and were so happy to be out just going down the road through new and interesting places again!

The windmill farms near Wasco Oregon were a real surprise and so fun to see close up, they are really huge!!!! There are 71 windmills in the "farm" and they are expected to generate enough power for 500 homes.



Traveling along the John Day River, the 2nd longest free flowing in the lower 48 states, was a true delight to our eyes. It flows 218 miles from the Strawberry mountains into the Columbia.












We found a very quiet camp at Bull Prarie resorvoir north of Spray, OR for our first night out. Very restful with only one other camper.
