2008 -- Aug -- Steens Trip
In May of 2008, I took a 900 mile dual-sport motorcycle trip through SE Oregon and NW Nevada. The apex of the trip was the Black Rock Playa in Nevada. However, before I was able to complete the trip, I ran into a severe weather change (80 to 42 degrees in an hour) and had to head for shelter. Since this was my fourth time down into this area, my wife (Rose)and I decided to take a driving and hiking vacation into the same area. All total, we drove 2000 miles round trip from Seattle, of which about 400 was off-road. Believe it or not, Suburu Outbacks really do well off-road (though they could use some better dust infiltration control).
This is really an amazing area of the country. Incredibly remote and incredibly scenic.
