Day 3- On Our Way to Baker City!


We made a side trip 
on our way to Baker City



I love the Painted Hills


They never fail to amaze me!

  1. Oh how fun. I think I mentioned that we were looking for property in Baker City. I'm still looking. I've got to get out of California at some point.

    Have a terrific trip honey. Big hugs. ☺

  3. Awesome photos. We lived in Arizona when I was a kid and the desert is so cool.

  5. Love Baker City, like the shops and eateries. We were just down that way and they just announced they have Cryptosporidium in the water supply. All water must be bottled or boiled first.

  7. The Pacific Northwest and Alaska are the two places in this country that i haven't been, ever, and i want to remedy that soon. You've made me remember why i need to put it higher on my list.

  8. I saw your comment in Celia's blog and had to check it out. My great grandfather died in Baker City and is buried there-- kind of a black sheep. The family story has always interested me and finally I had to go (few years back) to find his grave and through someone who contacted me from that learned a bit more about his time there before he had a stroke. I like Baker City a lot for its beauty and the Powder River basin. Gorgeous country

I love comments and will attempt to reply to each one. However, lately I have been getting "Unknown" comments that are linked to some sort of web page. I will never open this sort of comment and will immediately mark as spam. I am not interested in opening something that could be detrimental to my blog security etc. Never have enjoyed hackers! Thanks!
