I am spending the night in Lakeview, OR, the self-styled 'Tallest Town in Oregon' since its elevation is 4,800 feet (c. 1,500 m) above MSL.
Pretty impressive, eh?
I am en route to Reno and the AWRA IWRM Conference. I am taking the long way simply because I wanted to see this part of Oregon. Very pretty, especially the last part through the Sprague River Valley.
