Man Trip Day 1






On 7-12-08 Trent, Roger and myself embarked on "Man Journey 2008." Armed with Trent's new truck, a general idea of where we were headed; Steens Mnt, with Frenchglen, and the Frenchglen Inn/Drover Inn, serving as a base camp, and plenty of beer, we set out that Saturday morning. Our first night there we took a drive thru the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge, one big swamp and mosquito haven. Lots of wildlife and scenery, but you have to excuse the lack pics from this portion of the trip, the mosquitoes were unbearable, but I did manage to get a few. The fire watch tower is covered in turkey vultures coming in to roost for the night. Saw a few mule deer, including one really nice buck. And did mannage a couple of scenery shots in the beautiful evening light

Fascinating tower filled with vultures or maybe they are really mosquitos on the lookout for some fresh "man-meat" LOL
