Day 2: Ontario, Oregon

We had a long day today.  It was a drive through some very unique country - a far different looking landscape than the Oregon we know from the Coast.  Very rugged and more like the west than the Northwest.  Some agriculture and long expanses of massive landscapes with steep rising canyon walls.
Just before dusk we were an hour outside of Ontario.  We had been traveling for some time beside the river, Malheur.  An opportunity to camp beside it arose and just as dark settled, this weary foursome settled into camp.  A moon rose and although it was only a half moon, it was so bright it easily lit the landscape around us.

We got into photographing barns
