IMAGE: Malheur Lake, #OREGON. X.9.2016 Bone dry, as far as one can see... But two or three hundred meters East of the refuge where the now infamous insult to reason and justice took place in the early months of 2016, now known simply as, "the armed take-over." When I was just there, en route by mt bike to ROME & the OYWHEE CANYONLANDS, the refuge was still closed. And yes, I really did see the week before flocks of sandhill cranes "circling, as if caught in a violent wave." It took my breath away. An image I shall never forget . . .
