Day 2: Desert, Desert, and Dessert

Sorry, no photos for Day 1 yet. :c

Apologies if this sounds rather bland, I'm quite tired.
Didn't sleep very well last night, woke up at some ungodly hour in the morning, tossed and turned for an hour, fell asleep, and woke up at 6:30.
........
Well, that was annoying. I had most of the entry typed up, and tried to save it as a draft. I clicked the button and Firefox closed. I am saddened, but I will carry on! I think I’ll type all my entries in Word first so I don’t have to worry about losing them.




Okay, let’s try this again.



Not many photos today, sorry! I will do my best to remedy this in the future.



I would have had this typed up after the meteor shower last night, but I was so tired. So here’s a late entry, this might happen more than once, as I am unsure of how I will feel after a long motorcycle ride. Hope you understand. :]



Alright, so after everyone woke up, we all got dressed and Mom and I went out in search of coffee. Personally, I prefer hot chocolate, but you get what you get, right? Success, huzzah!

We returned to the trailer with our spoils. Once we were all more awake, Mom decided to try the stove top coffee maker. Works quite well, in fact I had some prior to typing this.



Afterward, the boys (Daddio and brother) packed the sidecar rig back into the trailer (it has to be taken out at night so we can put down the beds and sleep), while I watched Kargo (the dog), and Mom cleaned up the rest of the trailer.



Once everything was packed up, we went of on the hunt for breakfast. A little ways down the freeway, we found a place to eat up. Chicken fried steak with sausage gravy, two overeasy eggs, legitimate hash browns (not like the stuff Denny’s serves), a biscuit, and a tall glass of milk. Deeelicious! (Daddio has a photo. I’ll put it up eventually.)



Following breakfast, we depart, and I remove my shoes, gotta be comfortable.



A while later, we drove by Mt. Shasta, still snow covered in the middle of August. Here’s a low quality cell phone picture. Reminds me of Mt. Fuji. Beautiful.

After that, we stopped for some sight seeing.

Here’s Sparky enjoying the scenery.

AAAAHH! Oh wait.

Sparky that’s enough of your shenanigans, get back in the truck.

Back on the road, we drove through the town of Nubieber and Bieber. Personally, I found it funny. I had a photo of this, but blogger won't recogize it. :c

Later on, we stopped for fuel in Alturas and used the oldest functioning, non-museum, gas pump I’ve ever seen.

Naturally, I had to take a photo.

We also pick up some snackage while we were there. Mesquite barbeque chips, pretzels, a few bottles of water, and (because Daddio suggested we get something weird) Asian sweet & spicy chips. Quite tasty actually.

Crossed the state border soon after that. Officially in Oregon, hooray!

Drove by Lake Abert. I took a few photos. The water is so still, you can see the reflection of the hills on the other side. Beautiful. Also smelly. That’s because there is no inflow of water, so the lake just sits and stagnates. Wonderful thought, isn’t it?

Once we passed the lake, we drove through desert. Lots and lots of desert. And more desert. No photos because there isn’t much to see.

Finally, we arrived in Burns, Oregon. Yaaaay!

Dinner was fantastic. Pot roast, potatos, home made corn bread, corn, green beans, and vegetables from the pot roast, and gravy. Mmmmm~

To go along with dinner, of course, is dessert. Chocolate cake and vanilla ice cream.

By this time the sun began to set so, brother, uncle, aunt, and Daddio all sat outside and waited for the meteor shower to begin. I began typing this blog entry about then, but had to stop a quarter of a paragraph in because the shower had begun.

I didn’t see very much, but the night sky here is fantastic.

That’s about all for now, I should have another entry typed up and ready to go sometime tonight, detailing today’s adventure.

Thanks for reading!
