(This will be a short post with no pictures.)
Day 43 and we are two days from home. The stop tonight is the same as our stop on the first night of our trip, The Geiser Grand Hotel. I don't know why I like this hotel so much, but I do. And I really like Baker City, though I don't know why for that one, either.
After the requisite breakfast buffet, we pack the car and drive a couple of miles to Interstate 15. We turn north and retrace our drive of 40 or so days ago. At the junction with I-84, we drive NW, toward Portland.
The drive is pleasant, but not particularly stunning. We transition from the desert north of the Great Salt Lake to the flatlands of southern Idaho. After several hours, we arrive in Mountain Home and pull off the interstate for lunch at Frankie's Burgers. It is pretty good and the decor is kind of fun. After a nice meal, we find I-84 again and head west for Oregon. We cross the border and drive for another hour to Baker City.
Back at the Geiser Grand, we check into our room and rest up a bit. We then head outside for a short walk. The temperature is finally moderating; we can stand in the sun for minutes on end without melting into the ground. We return to our room and rest a bit more. Then we head to the bar for drinks before dinner.
The dinner is in the same grand room as the first night of our trip. It's a good meal and we call it a day. One more to go!
