![This is also Oregon. The Eastern Oregon high desert. Three Forks on the Owyhee canyon, 5 miles from Idaho, 30 miles from Nevada, and a 40 mile drive to the nearest paved road.

Eastern Oregon was the first time I saw a large body of water with no sign of human life. Not one boat, house, boathouse, building... nothing.
I live in Eastern Oregon and can confirm this. Makes for a quiet day on the lake.

i'd tell you if there weren't so many spies around.
Very pretty. What's the climate like? Does it snow in the winter?
Yeah, they'll get some snow in the winter out there. Probably similar to the Wyoming desert, or maybe the northern parts of New Mexico.
Sub zero winters. Snow. High winds.
I have visited this area many times (I live in Idaho) I love it there
Boise? It's a lovely city in a truly beautiful part of the world.
It really is me and my partner drove the Owyhee Upland Backcountry byway and it was a two day trip and we camped out there it was incredible the area is just so beautiful and cool really lol
I’m in western Oregon. I love my mountains and trees, but I am really looking forward to venturing out east and exploring this summer.
Me as well, I really want to hunt for sunstone out that way this summer.
Man that's cool!
We've got nothing like that over here in Aus!
like that over here in Aus!
For real? I feel like the whole interior would have a lot of that. Maybe a lot drier though?
Nice
Lovely! I spent ten weeks working in the Steen Mountain Wilderness Area and the Fremont National Forest running trail crews a few years back. Brightest night stars I’ve ever seen.

you good bro?
what does this mean?
I live very close to that area and go opal hunting around there.
I found some great ones while I was there! Any suggestion how to polish them?
