Got up and out of bed late this morning, and I think
considering my late arrival in Burns last night, that was fair. I still got up
and left the hotel a few minutes before my scheduled departure, Yeah, I took
some time exploring Burns, but I still left just a hair late.
Approximately 93.1257 miles SE of Burns, you reach Burns
Junction. There are no services there. You are given the choice of going to
Winnemucca or Rome. You know what I chose, don’t you?
Yeah, you’re right. I had no idea you could drive there from
Burns, but it is a magical corner of Oregon. I’m not going to say I was disappointed, but when the clerk at the
convenience store scowled at me when I asked how to get to the Vatican City, I
was appalled.
Okay, that is one city I can kick off my bucket list.
Then there were miles and amazingly straight miles until Winnemucca. I have to say, that is the best name for a town in America. Okay, I didn't actually find Great-Uncle Forrests's grave, but I found the cemetery he is buried in. I was running late, I hadn't planned on seeing Rome. It's a nice cemetary.
And after a few more hours and hundreds of miles, I found myself in the cute town of Eureka, Nevada. I am bedded in for the night.
