On Wednesday, September 1st, my son, Christopher, daughter, Catherine and I had a continental breakfast at the Inn. We traveled south from Ontario to Nyssa, Adrian, Jordan Valley, Burns Junction, Voltage, Burns and Hines (Hwy 201//95 (Idaho)/turned west at Jordan Valley on Hwy 95; then NW on Hwy 78 (Steens Hwy). We got lunchboxes at Albertsons.
We had a picnic lunch in a park in Jordan Valley. It was really windy. We had ice cream at The Narrows in Princeton. We stayed in Room 206 at the Best Western Inn at 534 Hwy 20 North in Hines. We ate a late dinner at Apple Peddler #7 in Hines, Oregon. While the food was good, the service was terrible!
The highlights of the day were seeing the Pillars of Rome – tall, chalk-colored cliffs above a dry tributary of the Owyhee (they stand 100 feet high and measure about five miles long and two miles wide); Jean Baptiste Charbonneau’s (1805 – 1866) grave at Inskip Station near Danner and the Machine that Won the West in really good condition. We found 11 caches and 4 benchmarks.
