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!

Did you swing through Walla Walla and pick up some sweet onions?
Super VXer
I love Walla Walla sweet onions! I think we just made them the official vegetable of the State of Washington, too...
No, really.
I didn't go there today, though. I headed south from the Richland/Pasco area right to Pendleton. After goofing off there for an hour or so, I came here to fabulous Baker City. There's gold in them thar hills!

Okay, here are some photos of the road trip so far:
That's the VX at sunset, outside of Baker City, Oregon. Here are a couple of others, with my diggity dogs:
And here is the world-famous Oregon Trail Motel. I still can't believe that the $35/night included a real breakfast.
