Fall Visit to the Phewpine Ranch
The description is fairly spot on. I had a nice time staying out in this open valley of sage brush. It is near the Hart Mountain Petroglyphs, and while secluded quite close to the welcoming border town of Lakeview Oregon. The host was very responsive to texts about finding the location when I had trouble finding it, and I had cell service there. There was a river running through the valley, and cows wandering around the highway on the way there. The best thing about it was probably that I saw my first badger out in the wild, but if you're not so lucky there are many hawks searching the skies, and coyotes calling out at night.
