Arriving in the area just in time for the annual chili cook-off sponsored by the Whiskey Runners Motorcycle Club we decided to find a different spot from our normal place near the base of Saddle Mountain. Turning off of West Courthouse Rd onto West Salome Highway right under the Highline power lines we saw some …

Glad the Center Divide Held Up

E May 30, 2019 Leave a comment

Heading up through Sonoma county to our destination for the Memorial Day weekend we found ourselves in crap Petaluma traffic which is so often the norm. We had been dancing around with a very nicely put together 2nd gen Tacoma on the highway and had offered up a reciprocated “Hey man, nice truck” in the …

Fish Creek Primitive Camp

E February 11, 2019July 9, 2019 2 Comments

Heading back west for more desert exploration we stopped first in order to check out the Ocotillo Wells SVRA. That first night, instead of camping in the SVRA itself, we took the opportunity to stay on the fringes of Anza-Borrego Desert State Park, camp near the mouth of Fish Creek Wash and use the primitive …

Ocotillo Wells SVRA

E February 10, 2019February 12, 2019 Leave a comment

Heading back west we decided to spend some time in Anza-Borrego Desert State Park but first stopped by the Ocotillo Wells SVRA information center and decided to explore that area for a bit. Since this was a Tuesday in December the place was virtually empty. After speaking with both a volunteer and a ranger in …

Corona Satellite Calibration Targets

E December 15, 2018September 12, 2022 5 Comments

Often we find ourselves looking for interesting places to explore by using a mapping app or website in satellite view. Sometimes we come across an item or area that peaks our interest but is unlabeled and a mystery. I hate unsolved mysteries and so throw myself into solving them by any means necessary. A couple …

Salt Creek Falls

E December 8, 2018December 9, 2018 Leave a comment

Our time in the Central Oregon area had eventually come to an end. We headed south out of La Pine before turning off Highway 97 to eventually head west on Highway 58. Not long after transitioning to the Willamette Highway we saw a sign directing us to yet another waterfall and so made the quick …

Big Obsidian Flow

E December 7, 2018 Leave a comment

We had already visited both Paulina Falls and Paulina Peak and it was still only around noon. We decided to keep on exploring and visit this interesting volcanic feature that had peaked our interest when we had seen it while up at the Paulina Peak summit. Once we got back down the hill from the …

Paulina Peak

E December 1, 2018December 7, 2018 Leave a comment

Towards the end of our time in central Oregon we made it our mission to explore as many waterfalls and geologic wonders as we could. On this day we left our campsite in the McKay Crossing campground outside of La Pine and headed east to check out several areas of interest including Paulina Falls and …

Spending any time in the central Oregon area and you cannot help but find many opportunities to explore awe-inspiring geologic wonders, waterfalls among them.

McKay Crossing Campground and McKay Falls

E November 29, 2018July 9, 2019 1 Comment

The friend we were traveling with for a while wanted to check out the Descend On Bend gathering. We decided to let him pay the $75 fee (the cheapest ticket package, they go up from there), be our BETA tester and let us know what he thought while we hung out in the general area …
