The Mini encountered high desert terrain today mixed with fertile agricultural valleys and twisty, windy mountain roads. She got a look at alkaline flats and drove for 20+ minutes around half of a huge alkaline lake (guard rails are not common but she didn't look down!) It was a little daunting when you could plainly see iron black boulders that had rolled down the side of the mountain, across the road and ended up sitting along the lakeshore or sticking weirdly out of the water. The Mini was very attentive watching for fallen rocks, game and stock on the road! Pulled in for the night at a Holiday Inn Express in Kalmath Falls, OR. We just missed the gully washer that had blown through but we did not escape the mud puddles. A couple layers of dried on bugs did slough off though! Sorry Mike, but it's hard to see the detailing work on the Mini's exterior right now!
