Bass Creek

I did a great hike in the Bitterroots up Bass Creek. Saw lots of beargrass and a few other flowers. Nice lake on top with big flat rocks for sleeping.

John Day River

Floated the John Day River in central Oregon in early July. Not many rapids, but a scenic 5-day trip. The rock in the pix is called columnar basalt (its volcanic rock that forms long hexagonal shaped columns when it cools).
