This isn't a great photo, but it is a timely one, if you note the odometer reading. The moment was a great one, that's the Malheur River just above the Seattle Commercial Parking Permit and my old Renton (41st Legislative District) apartment parking permit. The sunset was spectacular, the right mix of clouds, and yes, sun.
This is near the Vale/Ontario area on the Idaho border, the start of what they are now calling the 'Oregon Outback'. I'd spent the day driving up from Utah, much of it on dirt roads through the Jarbridge/Bruneau areas and the headwaters of the Owyhee river, a rather sublime spot. The area has the reputation of being isolated, and that I can confirm. The dirt roads however are still quite good, at least in dry conditions.
I spent the night at a campground not too far upstream from here, near the beautiful town of Junturas. Though the mosquitos were hellish, the spot was otherwise quite nice.
