Great San Francisco Trip 2013 Day 35 Winnemucca, NV

Day 35 Saturday August 24
Another driving day.  Our first hour's drive was through wonderful farming country where we say lots of onion fields in addition to potatoes and orchards and a series of hops fields.  We also passed through Harmon Killebrew's home town.  We then passed through some of the most desolate scenery of our entire trip in southeastern Oregon.  In 130 miles we passed through one village of 200 souls and one ten. We did find a pleasant spot for a picnic along the Owyhee River.  Our goal was to spend the night in a campground in Winnemuca, but there was too much smoke from the Rim fire.  We found a simple motel, and had a good sleep, but we had to run the air conditioning all night, and that always challenges Judy's asthma.  Again the Wifi was not up to our blogging.
