John Day, OR

Met up with the parents in Portland and weaseled three free meals out of them. From there, I headed east on Highway 26.

I detest taking pictures but any that I do take will be posted here.

Virtually every road sign on the way into John Day had at least one bullet hole in it. One was even peppered with shotgun pellets. And so while looking for a place to stay, I decided to pass on the slightly run down looking inn with the giant “Hunters Welcome!” banner on the balcony. I also passed on the one with the “Bikers Welcome!” sign and ended up a rather unexciting Best Western. Of course, finding a place with a TV was a must since the season premiere of Lost was on.
