7. Baker City, Oregon

Exploregonians

Eastern Oregon is much farther east than many people we talk to realize and this week, Katie and Jordan talk about vibrant Baker City, named not for baker potatoes, but the only sitting U.S. senator killed in military combat - and Katie researches it in real-time!
Jordan talks about the time he tried to take Katie to Baker City and ended up in Burns instead, while Katie describes the five scenic byways that pass through Baker and tries her hardest to pronounce author and Oregon outdoors reporter Grant McOmie's name correctly.
Let's head east to Baker City, and remember that Bend is, in fact, in Central Oregon!
