DAY 24 | Pendleton and a pub crawl | ||
Goodbye Budget Motel Burley, its going to be a long day of driving for Ian.
As we entered Oregon the scenery changed a little, as well as the acres of farming land, we passed through the occassional forested area.
A burger king pit stop for lunch, as we are making good time.
Snake river, the first body of water we have passed for several days.
Americans "best" budget motel welcomes us with a sparkling clean room, but the sad news that their pool isn't open.
So off to explore..They love their bronze statues here, Meet "Req" 36 years high school football coach.
One of these 2 is Chief Clarence T Burke, dubbed "The most photographed Indian Chief in history", if you say so.
Jackson Sundown, Nephew to Chief Joseph and well known on the Rodeo circuit.
Its mighty hot out 98 degrees, so a cold one (or 2) in The Packard Tavern, chatting with the locals.
Main Street offers the usual bars and burger joints, nothing much different seems to be open on a wednesday.
Dinner at "Joes Fiesta". Some Uber salty Taco's and Fajitas, washed down with of course, more beer.
Final stop, The Rainbow, another saloon where I tried a "Moscow Mule", as a lot of the ladies seemed to be ordering this interesting cocktail.
Well goodnight dear reader, we are slightly squiffy and looking forward to more adventures tomorrow xx
