Stopped to have a look at "downtown" Cecil, Oregon. I had hardly gotten off the
bike when a State Cop pulled up and asked if I needed help. And a second State Cop
showed up a few seconds later! It was nice that they stopped and would have been
much appreciated if I had actually broken down. Cecil is pretty much in the boondocks.
Not a place where you'd expect to see a lot of Cops.

PDX to Heppner
I-84 East, State Route 74 South - 210 miles

Heading out of town early Friday afternoon and staying over in Heppner. This will
allow more time for touring and picture taking. I've never been on the stretch of road
between Heppner and Sumpter so it should be an adventure.

We visited Heppner in 2012.
