Location
Off of the Tower Road Exit of I-84.
Participants
Expedition
I started northwest from Baker City in the mid-morning and drove about 22 of the 160 miles towards the hashpoint when the engine temperature spiked, the "check engine" light came on, and the truck began to lose power. I took the next exit, and reached the top as the engine died, smoky steam coming out from under the hood. So that was exciting.
Various misadventures and a tow truck ride later, I'm back in Baker City at 1:25 pm. The truck is in a local garage, where it may or may not be being tended to by a guy who central casting might have sent over after a request for a "cantankerous elderly rural mechanic."
Maybe the truck will be easy to fix. In that case, I might yet make my way to the hashpoint.
Photos
in North Powder, Oregon. Not very close to the hashpoint.
