I remember when the state redid hwy 78 connecting to 95 to good ol Winnemucca. Bunch of pretty country out there in that part of oregon.. majority of folks in Portland never seen it..
A leading factor in my labeling Burns as God's Country. The highways go through the least interesting parts of the Oregon Desert, though, generally speaking. Especially if someone just drove over from Bend and went back, they'd not a clue... Thankfully. Within a couple hours of Burns there's a lot of great country. And tens of millions of acres of our public land (ok add three or four hours driving fast). But the hunting sucks, wink wink.
