Me and Missy took my beast to the desert!
The Alvord Desert showed up on a recent list of top destinations that Bob Axsom is putting together. It looked intriguing... after a bit of VAF and goggle research we set off to investigate.
Landed
Even in the desert there is shade... cell service... and the internet!

While Steens Mountain looms to the west, the shimmering salt flats of the Alvord Desert unfold to the east. The Alvord Desert playa, which can be either wet or dry depending on the time of year, is one of the largest playas in Oregon?six miles wide and 11 miles long. Tens of thousands of years ago, a lake almost 200 feet deep covered the Alvord Desert and extended southward into Nevada. The old shoreline forms terraces along the edge of the valley, and deep under the desert floor are the same lava flows that make up the top of Steens Mountain.
