I took 218 that starts just outside Madras then went down to John Day from there..but I came home on 26 yeah.82gradDLSdad said:MinotStateBeav said:When I was a assistant high school coach, I use to drive my car separately to many locations because of work and I'd take another assistant with me. We had to go to Grant Union high school in John Day during the playoffs one year and it is the scariest drive I've ever done. So during the twilight is when the deer come out to feed on the farm land which made driving out there very scary, I missed multiple deer many time who just sit at the edge of the road feeding and bolt across when a car comes and being twilight made them hard to see very often. Then you had to deal with the rabbits that are all over the place and I hit one or 2, impossible to miss because there's just so many and they bolt so fast. But you can easily get killed driving out there..I was a nervous wreck coming back home after we had won lol. They were a decent team the year we played them and it was a close game, we ended up finishing in the state semi's that year I think (can't remember tbh lol). Think it was my 2nd year coaching so It was either semi's or quarters. Their team was quite cocky though and I remember they had a tough time dealing with our triple option so we just kept running it lol. (Normally we were a west coast offense so did more ISO/Power/Counter type running plays with playaction) But we did have some options. (kinda went off topic there lol). It is a beautiful area though and if anyone goes, just don't drive out there at night or twilight, that suggestion goes for much of eastern oregon tbh.SFCityBear said:I was last there in the late '70s or early '80s and it was there then.

What did Bearhunter lie about here? He just quoted Wall Street Journal article. If it is a lie, then isn't it the WSJ who is lying? And the second sentence, do you mean Bearhunter radicalized himself after Bernie Sanders did it himself, or Bearhunter radicalized Bernie. I'm just confused here, so please explain. Thanks.Eastern Oregon Bear said:Lies are what BearHunter does. It's how he radicalized post Bernie Sanders.

Fox News: Republicans blast Biden for releasing $6 billion in frozen Iran funds ahead of Hamas attack on Israel
At least 100 people have been killed in the assault.The people who tell us MAGA needs to be deprogrammed gave $6 Billion to Iran

We can all stop right there
Secretary of State Antony Blinken on Monday informed Congress he had signed a waiver releasing $6 billion in frozen Iranian oil revenues as part of a deal to bring home five Americans imprisoned in Iran. In return, the U.S. will release five Iranians held here. It's a hard deal to accept, all the more so when the Biden Administration chose the anniversary of 9/11 to announce it.

The funds were moved to a Qatar Bank from which Iran can request payment be made directly to approved humanitarian vendors.
Generally, nothing good gets posted at 4 AM and that goes for me too.
PS: Are you in Eastern Oregon? In John Day, there used to be a drinking establishment called "The House of the Bullshippers". I never went in there, but I think if I had, it might have been filled with Oregon or Oregon State sports fans arguing about how to solve their team's and the world's problems.
Rode through John Day at the beginning of a couple of bicycle trips in the 80s and 90s. Don't remember the bar. Maybe that's because I was dehydrated and it served really cheap drinks.
Any chance you drove Hwy 26? That's the rode I biked three separate times across Oregon. Eugene to Brownlee was actually some of the nicest (and fairly hard) riding I did on the bike trips.
