Southeast Oregon - September '07

We headed out for ten days on the road in early September. First we blasted down to California for some work on the van. While in California, we took the opportunity to see my Mom and Brother too. After the van work was done, we headed back north to southeast Oregon for a week of remote camping. Southeast Oregon was a great place to visit. As the lady at the gas station in Jordon Valley said, "There's a lot to see out here, but it's really spread out." Yep, it sure is...
