Jeanni wanted to spend her 62sd trip around the sun in the far desert of E. Ore. So we car camped for 2 nights in various BLM campgrounds. ( pretty cheap way to go).
I was a very much out of my comfort zone (deserts aren't me). shakehead.gif It felt odd to be standing, almost as high as Mt.Baker, and yet see nothing but sage brush and scrublands. It was also incredible to see these deep and wide glacier craved valleys. And then to look out across untold miles of deserts.
There as a patch of snow, brought in from a storm 3 days before. Which made my husky very happy agree.gif
We did spend our first and last night at the Crane Hot Springs. Which I must admit felt pretty good up.gif

Live every day like you will die to-marrow. For some day that will be true.

Steens looks like such a neat place, I really want to check it out along with the Alvord Desert and the Owyhee Canyonlands. It's a huge mountain, in some pictures what looks like a small range is just one fault-block mountain. Those hot springs looked like a nice way to end the trip smile.gif.

Love that area. Wife's ggg family came thru there in 1845. Some returned to homestead nearby. Many hot-springs.
