November 16, 2013 (Eight
travelogue of this trip).
Today we traveled about 350 miles. We are at the Holiday Inn Express (map).
I was looking at my Holiday Inn Rewards page and noted that
for 2013 I have spent 70 nights in their hotels. That does not include the past couple of
weeks. I have attained the Platinum
level which tends to get you some perks.
Tonight they upgraded us to a really nice suite. With a little luck, we will be able to use
our points for 7 nights on this trip.

We went over some reasonable high passes (for this part of
the country). What is often
referred to as Cabbage Patch hill (just
east of Pendleton and rated among the worst by some truckers) goes on for what
seems like forever. We
hit some pretty good snow – both falling and on the sides of the road. We saw an SUV that hit the huge rock face on
our side of the road and a jack-knifed semi that hit an embankment on the other
side. There were periods of sun, but not
much. The temperature never got over 50
and with high winds and humidity it felt really cold.

Tomorrow, our goal is Green River, UT
That is all for now.
