Okay, but where in the hell is Frenchglen, you ask?
Easy. It's...
...60 miles north of the Oregon/California border
..100 miles east of the Oregon/Idaho border
...or Frenchglen is:
* about 1 hour south of Burns, Oregon on Oregon state route 205
* about 3 hours northeast of Lakeview, Oregon (some gravel roads)
* about 4 hours southeast of Bend, Oregon
* about 5 hours west of Boise, Idaho
* about 8 hours southeast of Portland, Oregon
* about 12 hours northeast of San Francisco
* (you get the idea...)
