Day Thirty Three heading for home!

This picture is at 6:45 AM as I was warming up the motor home to leave the Shamrock RV Park for home.  I had originally planned on going back over Donner Pass but since 101 was closed because of the slide near Brookings I decided we would go on US-395 and make it home today.

We are coming down toward White Lake North of Reno.  It has been cold there because the lake was frozen over.  We crossed into California not long after we passed here.

Now we are in Oregon and still on 395.  Vera took this picture when she noticed the cliffs.

They sure stand out with the snow on them.

We stopped at this marker and found out the area was called the Abert Rim with a description of how they were formed.

Right after passing Abert Rim we turned onto OR-31 and it wasn't long before I noticed a field full of antelope.  There was no traffic so I stopped in the middle of the road and took a couple of pictures.

All along OR-31 we would see these signs that we were on the Oregon Outback scenic byway.  Just before we got to La Pine it ended so I turned around and came back so we could get this picture.

We were in the Warm Springs area as the sun started setting and Vera took a bunch of pictures.  Several turned out great and this is my favorite.

Things got ugly as we started up US-26 to Mt Hood.  It was snowing hard with compact snow and ice on the road.  The traffic was traveling about 35 mph and at times the wipers were having trouble keeping the windshield clear.  We filled up with gas in the Sandy area and then took 205 and I-5 to home.

This is our first view of home as we pulled into the yard at 9:30.  It sure felt good to get here, the 14 hour drive was worth it.

I took this picture as I walked around to unlock the door.  It was nice sleeping in our regular bed.  It was a great trip, we had lots of fun, saw lots of things and had great weather for traveling except for the last hundred miles.
