The Slocum Creek Wilderness Study Area (WSA) is located east of Owyhee Reservoir in Malheur County, approximately 47 miles south of Vale. U.S. Highway 95 is approximately 30 miles to the southeast. The WSA includes 7,600 acres of Bureau of Land Management (BLM) land. It is pear-shaped, approximately 5.5 miles long and 3 miles wide. It is bounded by high standard, gravel Leslie Gulch road on the north; by private land and maintained dirt roads on the east, south, and west; and by Bureau of Reclamation land on the northwest. It is adjacent to the Honeycombs and Upper Leslie Gulch WSAs and separated from them by high standard or maintained dirt roads.
The WSA contains rugged topography formed by intermittent streams cutting through thick, volcanic deposits. The resulting land pattern is composed of steep-sided drainages separated by high, north-south oriented ridges. Over 85 percent of the WSA has gradients exceeding 25 percent. Natural vegetation consists mostly of sagebrush and bunchgrass. Western junipers are scattered throughout the WSA. A small, relict stand of ponderosa pine is located in the Dago Gulch drainage of the WSA. Approximately 200 California bighorn sheep occupy habitat east of the Owyhee Reservoir. The WSA accounts for about 75 of the herd.
The WSA was studied under Section 603 of the Federal Land Policy and Management Act and was included in the Final Oregon Wilderness Environmental Impact Statement filed in February 1990.

This past weekend I was invited on a backpacking trip through Roger's Canyon in the Superstition Wilderness. What an amazing location! It's one of the few areas of the Superstitions I'd yet to explore, and I'm eager to do more.
This shot was from our second night camped in Angel Basin. I was sitting next to the campfire, enjoying the serenity when I noticed the light from the campfire illuminating this dormant tree (Cottonwood, maybe?). I then noticed Orion peeking over the top and decided I needed to capture it somehow. Although my attempt at capturing the scene with only the light from the fire failed, the four headlamps in my crew more than sufficed for adequate light on my next attempt.
This is my second attempt at light painting and I hope the creepy feeling comes through as I intended.

An other thing that I love to see in China is how the old people use to carry their grand kids. This is something very commun here to see a young child carried on the back of his grand mother of grand father as they would prefer this way instead of carrying him in the harms. One difference amont the long list of cultural gap between China an Europe.
In public elementary schools in japan, all the kids wear backpacks called randoseru. Generally and originally the girls' are red and the boys' are black. In recent years, a variety colors have appeared!
The "Women Backpacking Together" Meetup met at the Caribou Lake Trailhead in the Caribou Wilderness in the middle of the night... around midnight. Lorrie and I were there around 7:30pm so after we put up our tent and built a fire, we warded off the bears by making a lot of noise. Four plus hours! We were up around 9am and out on the trail around 11am. Got to our camp at North Divide Lake around 3:30pm and set in for a cold night. Snow all around but we found a nice meadow to camp in.

For the first day of our backpacking trip, it was pouring rain all the way through the night. Finally, on the second day, the rain let up. We dried our gear (to an extent), and went on a day hike. When we got back at around sunset, the sky was looking very clear, so we decided to sleep on top of Indian Head itself. This was the resulting image. It's actually 492 images combined, which is all part of a much larger 900 picture video clip that I created as well.
