More desert time

In Spring Basin Wilderness

It was ONDA annual meeting time again this past weekend.  Always a highlight of the year, I was not sure I would be making it there when I learned that I would be in Phoenix, Arizona for work immediately prior to the event.  I was able to squeeze in an itinerary that had me flying into the Redmond airport, where Maria picked me up and we were at the Hancock Field Station by midnight.  I am glad we made it work, it was a beautiful weekend on the John Day and it allowed me to complete a trifecta; three of North America's deserts in the span of ten days.  Really great stuff!
