    Gordy's truck stop is on Oregon 97 about twenty six miles south of Bend on the northernmost tip of La Pine.

    While not a fancy dancy truck stop, there's always room to park and the restaurant and fuel store are open 24 hours.

    Fuel and showers are available, but there is no repair shop. Closest thing to that is the Les Schwab north just a few hundred yards.

    This end of La Pine also sports a budget motel, a Dollar General, a law office, a small bowling alley, a Dairy Queen, a pawn shop loaded with tools, and finally, a pizza place that features a pizza crust closely resembling cardboard.

    It's been quite a while since I ate pizza there. Maybe it has improved.

    Keeping an eye on the weather this week. Picking up Wednesday on Kennewick down to Stockton. If it's snowing, I'll just head over to I-5. Don't feel like dealing with 97 during a blizzard.

    The doppler is all clear right now except for around Ontario heading into Idaho. Looks like you'll have a pretty decent trip to the midwest if you haul butt.
