Thanks to everyone. Your comments are a chance to enjoy the trip all over again.
I've posted the next segment (added to body of report).
Sorry Allison, I did not make it to Mickey, nor did I try a milkshake At Fields Junction (I was strangely off my feed).

Excellent report. Your pictures really show the beauty of the harsh desert and tell the story so well. BTW, the flower is an evening primrose - Oenothera. I'm not certain which one. They are really bring the sand alive.

Hey nice report. I was just down there too!
I left on the 15th, stayed a couple days at Coyote lake, then spent the following week up in the Owyhee Canyons. I will try to post up a TR too.

Finally had a chance to enjoy this, David. You've outdone yourself (again). How many days does one need to make this trip?
The photos of the foxes in barbed wire and shot-up signs were disturbing but well captured. As always. Great report.

Great trip report and pictures. I'm envious! Before I moved to Chicago I used to make a pilgramage to the Steens every Spring. As for Borax Lake, the road is easy to find if you know the right landmark. As you drive north from Fields, look for a grove of trees just east of the road. Turn when you see them and the road will take you right to the Lake.
There are a couple more nice soaking hot springs in the area as well - Mickey, Willow Creek and Bogue hot springs. Guess you'll have to go back again!

Bump
See Stage III posted in body of report...
I'm very excited to share the final segment of the Oregon High Desert series; the video montage hopefully captures the pace, energy, and dynamism of the Alvord landscape. Certainly the trailer-cam segments were great fun....
Be sure to check out the final segment, but here is the summary video:
