Oregon has 2 time zones

Who knew?  We stayed in the one county in Oregon that is in Mountain Time Zone.  So I did not get back to Pacific Time until today.

We drove west on Highway 20.  We saw a road runner and (appropriately) a coyote.  We also saw some deer and lots of cows.  The first part of the road from Vale to Burns was fascinating as we drove around and over mountains.  Sort of like the BC north but without any trees.  It was desert mountains.  From Burns to Bend it is high desert - this part of the drive was pretty boring.  Lots of sagebrush and not much else.  Until we got closer to Bend and now we can see the peaks of some coast mountains with snow.  Woohoo, almost back to the coast.

We are here today and tomorrow.  Then shopping near Portland for a couple of days, then the plan is to be home Monday.
