Oregon, where I was born and attended both high school and college, is an interesting place.  When it comes to the roads there, the interstates have a maximum speed of 65 mph and all of the other highways have a maximum of 55 mph.  I guess they think Carter is still the president.

Highway 78, known as the Steens Highway (it goes past the Steens Mountains), is the road you take to get from Burns to Burns Junction.  While driving long this stretch of road, you’ll be able to count on one hand the number of cars you’ll see.  Most of the road is straight and flat with good pavement.  Needless to say, no one drives 55 along that road.  Take a look at it below – I challenge anyone to drive that road while keeping it under 55 mph and still arriving with your sanity intact.
