We actually saw single digits on the truck's thermometer today while driving over the Blue Mountains summit (4,250 feet roughly). Six degrees showed outside, eeeee haaaaa! Prior to the single digits, when it was still in the low 20's, Robert tried to wash the windshield on the truck with the wiper blades. On the third pass of the blades, the water froze up and practically blinded us! Okay, write that down, when it's well under freezing, don't try to the washers! Hummm, maybe we should add some antifreeze to the water?
We left Portland OR today and traveled about 322 miles out I-84 to the high desert of Eastern Oregon. The picture above was from the lookout on I-84 just east of Pendleton Oregon.
We're staying the night at a truck stop/gas station in Baker City, where it's a balmy 15 degrees tonight..can't wait for that early morning-take-the-dog-out-to-go-potty walk!

I just learned a trick for washing my windshield while icy.....turn on the defroster.
