YellowBear goes to Frenchglen

In Oregon, there are several small communities in the eastern state where old hotels and ranches still exist that date from the immigrant days.  Frenchglen is one such.  The Frenchglen hotel provides room and board and favors motorcyclists.  Frenchglen is a staging point for a large mountain complex called Steens Mountain, where the high desert views go forever, and hidden valleys contain cottonwood oasis.  I am headed there with YellowBear on the back of truck.  First stop is Lakeview, Oregon.  The Interstate 8 hotel is neat and clean and only $55.  It was a beautiful day on the road!
