Escape from the Rain

Here we are parked at the Owings Ranch in the Summer Lake Basin.  We left Elkton in the rain this morning, drove over the Willamette Pass in the rain, and a good section of central Oregon in the rain, but when we climbed over Picture Rock Pass this afternoon and dropped down into the Summer Lake Basin, we had finally left the rain and entered into a dryer realm.  We are here for several days of birding, and besides the good fortune of a quiet place to park, we are relieved to report that we have cell phone and Internet service.
