<\/a>STE1 Hop 2<\/p><\/div>198 miles via I-84 and US 201. Cumulative tow miles: 437. Truck miles: 211. Cumulative truck miles: 450.<\/p>\n
We started this hop at an elevation near 500′ and ended at 2100′. But in getting to Huntington we had a couple of heavy climbs, one topping out at over 4500′. It was a more strenuous hop than I had expected.<\/p>\n
But the weather was fine and the road (I-84) was very smooth, unlike the I-84 in CT that we detest. And there was a conveniently placed rest stop on the first climb, just east of Pendleton, at the ominously named Deadman’s Pass<\/a>.<\/p>\n This pass appears on the list of “most dangerous roads” in America. It wasn’t all that dangerous in good weather, but I sure wouldn’t want to traverse it in snow.<\/p>\n But it did have a nice view.<\/p>\n View from Deadman’s Pass We were happy that we didn’t stay longer. Because of the flies we would probably avoid this park in the future. Another view from Deadman’s Pass<\/p><\/div><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" 198 miles via I-84 and US 201.

<\/p><\/div>Our home for one night in Boardman OR was the Driftwood RV Resort<\/a>. This was an interesting park in certain respects. Most notably, it had an indoor pool – just the 4th park we have found with that amenity. It also had flies, which were really annoying. On the morning of our departure I killed over 20 flies inside the RV. I don’t know how they got in as I have never had that problem before or since. Maybe through the seams in the slides?<\/p>\n<\/a>
