town ( at Moe's Pizza) was great, as was the breakfast at Kathy's the
next morning.
Thursday, I rode the 54 miles to Alturas and stayed in another $40
motel--I'm getting soft, I know. My rationalle, while sucking down a
peanut butter chocolate shake at The Munchbox, was that the 300 miles
of southeastern Oregon I was about to enter is pretty remote, and I
oughtta be around people while I can.
Friday, when I finally got on the road around 12:30 (after one more
Munchbox peanut butter chocolate shake, I absolutely flew down the
road. I'm camped out now in Oregon, about 20 miles north of Lakeview.
Just before crossing the border, I stopped into a wild plum winery and
tried some samples while talking with the owner. I ended up taking a
jar of wild plum jam along with me which I'm thinking is going to make
a nice breakfast.
Mmph, there are lots of other stories, and I'm noting that my
"writing" is a little bland. This one-thumbed typing is tiresome.
Tomorrow (Saturday) I'm going big and banking on some more winds from
the south. I'd like to get all the way to Burns, some 120 miles away,
though I'd settle for...um...anywhere with dinner. If you look at
Highway 395 on an Oregon map you'll see that there's not much out here
in the way of towns or services.

For this type of on the road blogging, Apple ought to allow a blue tooth keyboard! Hope your thumb holds up, as we look everyday to see the latest story! They're great.
