Great stop-over spot

We pulled off here for a quick night before continuing to eastern Oregon. There wasn’t a pull-off at the location listed in the Dyrt, but we took one at mile marker 88. Just down the road a quarter mile was an established spot with a fire ring. It was down in a dip, so not visible from the road and very quiet.
