High Dessert Cruising

We've made it to Nevada. Since our last post we have woken up to rain, driven through gray skies and stayed in a cozy cabin in the moutains in north eastern Oregon. It seemed a great comprise to camping in the snow, rain and cold. We drove out of Oregon today, over several mountain passes and the awesome high dessert region of Eastern Oregon and northern Nevada. The scenery was stunning with rolling hills, geological outcroppings and mountains in the distance. It wasn't designated as a scenic byway, but it was in our eyes. I love having the opportnity to see so many small towns and communities. Tomorrow we head south and then east to spend a few days at the Great Basin National Park in Baker NV. It is very close to the Utah border. We're looking forward to staying put for a couple of days and doing some hiking and biking and waking up in our tent in warm, sunny weather!
