We hadn’t noticed before, but now that we are searching for spots to spend the night off the side of the road, we have been surprised to have found that the roads tend to be on highly raised road beds that you can’t pull off of. Nevada through the desert was especially bad. Better so far in Oregon.

Oregon - Lakeview

 

About 15 miles north of Lakeview we found a nice spot on the side of US 395 to spend the night. The “Chandler State Wayside” is about a mile north of us, we went up and drove through and signs said “DAY USE ONLY” so we drove back to this spot that I had spied on a Google satellite map, just a little side road, we are parked just 25 or so yards off the highway.

 

Mosquitoes were welcoming us when we arrived but us desert dwellers have to adapt if we want to get outta the city, I guess.  Managed to put 132 miles behind us today, pretty impressive for not even tryin’.

Pretty steady traffic at 7PM, but quieted down after that.
