Meandering is great fun. Interesting list.
Comments:
1. *OR and NV state route 140, from Denio NV to Lakeview OR.
Fantastic area. We mostly have used 140 to access the side roads. e.g. N
from Denio Junction to Steens Mtn. an/or through the Alvord Desert. W
through the Sheldon Wildlife Refuge backroads to Cedarville. N from Adel
through the Warner Valley to Hart Mtn. NWR. Hwy 140 W from Lakeview to
Klamath Falls is also very nice as is 395 past Lake Abert. (mostly dry
now I hear which bodes ill for the bird migration) We were through
Lakeview to OR31 in December. Beautiful in the snow.
2. *Interstate 70, 30 miles west of Green River UT to east of Salina
Added to the list :) We did part of this route May before last heading S
to pick up our daughter from school. We turned off to Torrey. On the way
back we took 191 N from Moab. So did both ends :).
3. *UT route 128 from Moab UT to interstate 70 at Cisco.
Added to the list :) This looks like a good one. :up.gif:
4. *US 395 from Spokane to John Day OR.
We frequent this route with many variations. If you continued 395 N from
Lakeview you passed Lake Abert and also just N of Burns the place where
they shot one of the wackos from the stand-off at Malheur NWR. A short
side trip from John Day is the Painted Hills and JD Fossil Beds NM. Well
worth the time to see all three units. From Pendelton we usually quit
395 for OR11 to Walla Walla and the Palouse or 730 from Umatilla up
through the Wallula Gap. Incredible catastrophic geological forces at
play only a few (relative) years ago if you are interested in that sort
of thing.
So many backroads, so little time.
