Well, I looked up the lat&long for both places, and plugged them in, that extra two hours drive (for Californians anyways Wink ) buys you an extra 11.9 seconds, going from 1:57.3 to 2:09.2, and looking at weatherspark.com for the Palisades, I think I'd be happy without air conditioning, add another 10 degrees, I'm not so sure. Farewell is quite literally on the Idaho border, so if you've ever wanted to cross that off your list, or visit Bosie, it's close.


Cove Palisades looks better to us too. It has somewhat less chance of rain (0" vs ~1" in August).
Some of it is higher up (better views). I think it's a prettier area too, but I'm partial to desert canyons.
Shorter drive, cooler weather. It's closer to Madras and the Oregon Solarfest if that's of interest to anyone.
If you really want that extra 12 seconds, drive slightly north. I think at Farwell Bend
you'd probably want to drive up out of the campground to get the bigger views. Six of one...

I plan to try for the upper campground first. If that doesn't work, I'll try for whatever I can get in the lower ones.
After that, I'll try Farwell Bend. Guess we'll see if the reservation website can handle the traffic...

I consider the group camp idea a backup plan if we can't get any/enough sites via the direct approach.

Just my .02.
