View Opens Showing Typical Central Oregon Summer Countryside: Dry Grassy Knoll Sprinkled With Dry-Land Flowers, a Wide Valley, and Distant Mountains.
“Lots of space out here.“
Seven mi East of Prairie City, OR. The road has been down -hill after Dixie Pass. You can see the very nice paved road car will continue down grade to, the White Spot in the distance. This is an Oregon Trail Tourist Information Kiosk, in the Commemorative Form of a Giant Oregon Trail Covered Wagon! The ZMM Route and Prairie City are in the direction of the medium distance little round hill with the stone outcrop sticking up. Continued scroll to the right shows the scene is much the same in all directions. Note the bunches of flowers. Despite the dryness, these were quite alive and were quite beautiful close up. I will get my close-up photos of these, posted in my album “Flowers and Red Wing Blackbirds, as soon as possible. At the right of this panorama you can see how the road goes by my little Red Car and will continue on by my photo location and into the valley. Note green irrigation ribbon. It is hard to imagine how they find that much water out here! Prairie City is ahead.
