Vacation Day 3

Today we finished up our day on the Oregon Coast and made the grueling 10 hour drive to Boise. It was very pretty most of the way, but we decided to just haul ass and get here so we could relax tomorrow morning. If we wanted to stop and go frog hunting, here is where we might have done it.

Along the way we decided to take a short cut. I noticed two things about this shortcut; 1) it is not as straight as it looked on the map, and 2) the road is much more closed than it looks on the map. Oopps!

This picture was taken in Sisters OR, where they were selling these awesome old coke bottles. Ahhhh... the pause that refreshes!

If you ever make this drive you will notice that the trees get smaller and the rocks get bigger as you go along. The rock roots probably steal all the water from the trees so they can't grow as tall.

At one point we stopped at McDonalds - to eat more homemade BBQ sandwiches! I havnt eaten McDonalds since undergrad and I dont plan on starting now!

And this is a picture of rush hour traffic in the middle of nowhere central Oregon.

And of course, no modern day road trip is complete without an ipod, chips and dip, and a red liquorice straw.
