Bushy

My new favorite bush is Sagebrush.  Pretty color, hearty in arid conditions and has an interesting smell.

Dividedly

After leaving the Mascall Overlook, we headed down this highway and into the heart of the beast.  The temp jumped to 100 degrees F as we entered the highway crevice that pierced two massive walls of rock.

Sunny

It was 95 degrees and deathly quiet at the Mascall Overlook.  No critters moving. No insects buzzing.  No birds chirping.  Just the sound of heat radiating.  This is as far away from my mental picture of Oregon as I could get.

Solitary

It's hard to see in the small image I use for my blog, but there is one home in the middle of the mountains.
