I took my time driving today. I enjoy getting the dogs outside, and stopping for coffee, and visiting all of the "Historic Centers" of all of the old towns. Today I spent time in Yakima, WA, Pendleton, OR and now Baker City, OR. I found a "quaint" hotel called the Oregon Trail Hotel, smack in the heart of historic Baker City. It is conveniently located next to the Oregon Trail Restaurant!
(BTW, it's only $35/night, and includes breakfast at the restaurant next door. Sweet! And free wi-fi!)
So I pulled up to my room, and ALL of the restaurant employees run outside and start asking about the VX. They wanted to know if it was a Porsche or a Lexus or something. I guess de-badging really does make the VX into a Mystery Mobile. I don't know what the restaurant customers were doing this whole time, but the employees pretty much hung out with me in the parking lot for 20 minutes or so, checking out my ride.
And this is just Day One...
See y'all soon!
