Day 12: May 30, 70 miles

I did a big day today so that I would have an easy day into Baker City tomorrow (wanted to make sure I didn't miss any Law and Order Wednesday afternoon!). Seriously, it wasn't too hard with views like this all day. This is looking westward from Dixie Pass on Hwy 26 on my way to the campground at Phillips Lake. This area was settled by Southern sympathizers during the Civil War/Gold Rush area. Hence the name Dixie Pass and the curiously spelled nearby town of Sumpter.
