Driving Across Oregon into Idaho Watching the Topography Change

So, our day started out, clear, blue, and comfy.  Pendleton is a town that had much to offer (underground tours for one thing!) but since we had a deadline to meet, we just stayed the one evening, had a great breakfast with our fellow B & B guests, and realized just how many things that are fun to do while in town listening to them talk.  Maybe a trip in the future?  
 When we left, the area had lots of brown rolling hills... we climbed a pass, and the next thing you know, trees!  lots of them!!!  Kept on going and the trees became more sparse.  Then, back to more barren land.  Still, very pretty in a different way.  Speed limit was 80, which was nice, and of course, Jerry managed to inch that up to a bit more!  Not many pics today... the last 3 hours of driving found the whole area quite hazy from all the smoke blowing in.  Fortunately, no fires where we are, but the air is suffering from the fires further away!


Three trailer trucks... are everywhere...
Cruise control set at 90... speed limit, 80... car really makes that speed seem like you're doing 55!
Love the view... not so much... Haze hid it all!
