Get Back to Where You Once Belonged

I thought I better get back to the blog before some machine decides it should disappear.

I recently had the chance to spend the weekend camping at the Page Springs campground, on the Blitzen River, with my friend Stuart. We've managed to explore much of the area around the Steens Mountains, and the whole area is just fascinating. If you are a lover of geology, volcanoes, glaciers, plate tectonics, birds, wild horses, wild game, hot springs, western history, big views, or quiet and secluded places, this area should be on your bucket list.

This is Big Indian canyon, one of several deep u-shaped valleys cut by glaciers about 1.6 million years ago during the Pleistocene ice ages.
