Thanks to COVID-19, the summer of 2020 was fraught with event cancellations, furloughs and social distancing. But not all was lost. People still also used this time to get away and get outside. Roadtrips were a common way to do this.
On this week’s episode of Peak Northwest podcast, we hear from The Oregonian/Oregon Live’s transportation and housing reporter, Jayati Ramakrishnan, for the latest installment of My Epic Adventure, a sub-series of the podcast. Jayati spent six days traveling by car far and wide throughout Southern Oregon.
Here are some highlights from this week’s show:

Jayati and her friend drove from Portland to the Alvord Desert in one day.

This roadtrip was Jayati’s first camping experience.

Alvord Hot Springs can surprisingly get pretty crowded.

Steens Mountain was a favorite sight of the trip.

Jayati knows the best Thai spot in Brookings and perhaps even the state.
