Along the way

We spent the last couple of days travelling along I80 which follows the Oregon Trail. There are all kinds of mile posts and information signs. This adds to the drive as it is mostly prairie, flat and straight.

One of the things we have noticed is there are a number of town / city names that are in a number of states. There must be at least 5 different states with the town of Lexington, including Kansas which also has the battle of Lexington.

As you drive along you see old farm equipment, wooden wagon wheels and covered wagons in various stages of decay.

There are also old abandoned farms and vehicles.

The campsite we stayed in Baker City, Oregon had antique farm equipment scattered throughout the campsite. They also had a covered wagon.

On days that we are moving from one place to the next we usually stop at rest stops for lunch. Todays route did not provide us with a rest stops so we ended up stopping at a winery for lunch. We went into the guest area and purchased some wine and cooked lunch in the trailer. Right beside the where we parked the trailer was a wine vessel that was the appropriate size for one of our friends.

Yes that does say 20,700 litres.
