Took a couple of days and drove down to SE Oregon for Catherines Birthday. spent two days exploring Steens mountain and Malhure wildlife refuge. I didn’t get two many pictures as I misplaced my phone. Thankfully it slid back out from under the seat towards the end of the trip. Vistas like these make me think I need to learn to shoot pics like Guy.

Happy Birthday to your lady. That is certainly some lovely country.
 
Fuel cost are 2x from what they were 2 years ago.
I don't like it but it isn't going to stop me from going where we want to go.
You both had an awesome trip!

Happy belated birthday to your Wife. Also, thanks for sharing the pictures, to take pictures like Guy invest in a digital SLR camera, it's all about good lenses and pixels.
 
Oregon has a lot of very beautiful and potentially challenging country. The Steens Mountain is a very unique area always worth the trip.

Exploring SE Oregon, with its breathtaking landscapes like Steens Mountain and Malheur Wildlife Refuge, must have been truly memorable. Even though you temporarily misplaced your phone, the memories you made are irreplaceable. If you ever decide to delve into photography like Guy (possibly referring to a skilled photographer), there are plenty of resources and tips available to help you get started. Capturing the beauty of your adventures could add another layer of enjoyment to your trips. I share your enthusiasm for discovering the top things to do in various places. It's a fantastic source of inspiration for future adventures.

It's great country, been going down there since I was a kid, my little sister married a rancher with land on the Alford side, my niece married into a family with ground on the west side. I'm golden😁
