November 6- 7, 2026 Eugene to Summer Lake Hot Springs, Oregon to Winnemucca, Nevada

 High of 65 and mostly sunny. We escaped Oregon Motor Coach and are back on the road. 



We were done at Oregon Motor Coach, but then a bunch of little things cropped up. One of the drawers in the kitchen stuck open - Jackson came over and fixed it, then the closet sliding door stuck open - Jackson came back and fixed it, then the AC/heat pump was dripping water into the coach- Jackson came back and fixed it. After he fixed the heat pump, it rattled when it ran, so Jackson came back a couple times and got it fixed Here he is on the roof working on the heat pump. He has infinite patience! We fueled up at $6.79 a gallon. 



The Willamette river on our route. The Oregon Outback scenic byway.



The office at Summer Lake hot springs. After a 4 hour drive.  The springs are in this barn. Summer lake is behind it, but mostly it is a dry lakebed playa. 



There is a big hot spring pool inside the barn and some nice rock outdoor tubs. Somewhere Else, in the community room.



The bus at Summer Lake Hot springs RV camping. Sunset over the hot spring barn.

Warner Cyn Ski area, elevation 5,683 with a vertical drop of  780 feet. Doherty Slide ahead , the road goes up the ridge  with switchbacks, 1000 feet to 6, 246 feet. It has an 8% grade over 3-4 miles, no shoulders or guardrails with a famous sign at the top that says "Take your time, don't rush, and you'll get there alive"!



Oregon thanks you, come back soon, Sheldon National Antelope Refuge and range. Welcome to Nevada, the windshield has so many bugs on it the camera will not focus past the windshield. Denio Junction, Oregon. The gateway to the Oregon outback and the black fire opal capital of the world. 



The bus at the New Frontier RV park in Winnemucca, NV. A 4 1-2 hour drive. We are exhausted. Sunset. 


Beautiful downtown, historic Winnemucca, Nevada.
