Day 2_Part 2

This is from the second halfof day 2. These are pics from the East Ridge, we stoppped here for lunch and a homebrew @ 9700 ft, tasted pretty durn good. We took a short hike to the summit and finished the day we a little drive to take in a nice SE Oregon sunset.

Kiger gorge

A couple more shots from Kiger, hopefully they give some perspective to how big this gorge is. Gotta love old guys busting the flex pose. And a pic of myself, just for the heck of it.

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

Wild Horse Canyon

From the summit of Steens Mountain, looking South down Wild Horse Canyon. Wild Horse Lake can be seen in the one pic, there is a trail down to it, but we opted not to take that hike this time, maybe next.
