Desert Conference 2012

Wychus Creek, near Alder Springs

Spent a mid September weekend in Bend to attend Desert Conference, organized by the Oregon Natural Desert Association (ONDA).  This is the only conference I go to just for fun, and it was great.  Hopefully some day soon we will be celebrating the creating of a vast new wilderness in Oregon's Owyhee Canyonlands!
