From [[2023-04-29 42 -118]], I continued on Oregon 78 to Burns Junction, which consists mostly of an abandoned gas station, then northwest through mighty Rome (a village of perhaps a dozen people), and eventually to the most urban and cosmopolitan place I'd seen in in 135 miles: Jordan Valley, Oregon, population 180.

The hashpoint was south of town; Dinwitty Lane crossed some fields and then ran right through a ranching operation and over a little bridge; then, unsigned Sheep Spring Road split off and ran between fields and sagebrush for a while.  When the road surface started to get a little iffy, I turned the truck around and pulled out the bicycle.

Location

A few miles south of the village of Jordan Valley.

Participants

Expedition

From 2023-04-29 42 -118, I continued on Oregon 78 to Burns Junction, which consists mostly of an abandoned gas station, then northwest through mighty Rome (a village of perhaps a dozen people), and eventually to the most urban and cosmopolitan place I'd seen in in 135 miles: Jordan Valley, Oregon, population 180.

The hashpoint was south of town; Dinwitty Lane crossed some fields and then ran right through a ranching operation and over a little bridge; then, unsigned Sheep Spring Road split off and ran between fields and sagebrush for a while. When the road surface started to get a little iffy, I turned the truck around and pulled out the bicycle.

The bicycle took me another 1.1 miles. By then, I was only a quarter mile out, so it was a shorter walk across sagebrush than either of the last two expeditions.

After the expedition, I stopped in Jordan Valley to have lunch and coffee at the Rockhouse Cafe, which is the traditional post-geohashing celebration for this area established by Eldin and Pojana after 2013-03-03 43 -117. "Sugar, Sugar" (The Archies, 1969) was playing cheerfully on their stereo when I came in, which helped me avoid any unnecessary philosophical musings about the vastness of the Western landscape or the human experience of space. Good coffee, too.
