Driving Crosscountry 2020 : Welcome to Oregon

 We finally made it to Oregon! Wow, did it look different than we expected! We expected a lush green forest, and what we got was Eastern Oregon which is practically a desert. Looked just like the great basin except it had a little bit more green and some of these yellow flowers growing everywhere. It turns out that it was called the Oregon outback.
 We also saw these chain up areas every few miles. Which we found out was where trucks and cars could pull over to put chains on their tires in the snow months, because this is such a high elevation.
 Then finally everything got more green and we could start seeing giant redwoods and Sequoias as peak over the top of the usual tree line.
