Day 57 - Hood River to Baker City, Oregon

Today (Saturday), we traveled from Hood River to Baker City. Most of the interstate was built next to the Columbia River so the drive was quite pleasant. Western Oregon is wet and green, but eastern Oregon is dry until you climb up into the Blue Mountains where the dry desert looking environment changes to a high altitude forest. As we arrived at our campground, the nice lady at the reception told us about the Oregon Trail Interpretive Center (a government museum about the Oregon Trail). We'll hit that tomorrow on our way to Idaho.
