I went on vacation over by Christmas Valley/Abert Rim/Fort Rock. I put about 1000 miles on the truck, and half of those miles were unpaved or areas with "4wd" roads. I saw antelope, coyotes, deer, jackrabbits, snakes, lizards, hawks, and few other people besides my wife and girls, and woman operating a fire lookout. I completed another one of my summer goals, succesfully shooting a 50 gallon drum at 1000 yds several times with two different calibers. We saw five new lava tubes, countless rock formations, had 5 starry nights under the desert sky, several new lakes and rivers, abandoned buildings and homesteads, and met up with my brother for part of the trip. We got back dusty, broke, and torn up, and everybody was sorry the trip was over.
