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...)
