Owyhee Country
The Basque Hotel, not to be missed. You simply haven’t lived, until you have been at the Basque Hotel. And I lay here late at night, so happy to be in a comfortable bed. Where is the Basque Hotel you ask? France or Spain, in the Pyrenees? No actually, it’s in the town of Jordan Valley (JV), in the most eastern part of Oregon, just a few miles from the Idaho border. Pretty much in the middle of nowhere.
Dan and I had decided last month to explore this part of Oregon. He had been here briefly a few years back, and I have never been here. We are both explorers and adventurers, in much the same style, or spirit, if you will. And having an awesome time together was a foregone conclusion.
