Enroute to Spokane, now boondocking at the Squaw Creek Overlook

Long day of driving.

Left the vicinity of Burns, OR and continued north mostly on US 395.  I checked out two sites listed in iOverlander but neither worked out for me.

The first was OK in terms of scenery (picture grass covered hills) but you basically were camping by the side of a county road:

Elk Meadows

The second one was advertised as a large parking lot for a recreation area.  It turned out to be a medium sized lot, next to the Pendleton, OR airport.  Not great, camping within an industrial area.

There wasn't much within easy reach to the north so I decided to try a site called Viewpoint.  Turns out to be a small overlook area called Squaw Creek Overlook.  There were a couple of spots where Uma could camp, I picked the one furthest away from the parking lot.

Though not very busy, there were cars coming and going all afternoon as I rested.


One of the views from the Overlook:


This spot will work for one night.  Tomorrow I drive into the state of Washington and hopefully find a nice spot to hang out within easy drive of the Spokane airport.
