Made a trip over to the eastern Oregon desert last weekend just to drive around and relax.
Ended up putting on about 350 miles offroad.
Checked out the Fort Rock area. Christmas Valley. Silver Lake. Millican. Lots of cool stuff! Even found a new place to wheel called Rim Butte! Some good rock crawling in lava rock!
Friday night in Tumalo:

Found some caves that I didn't know were there just east of Bend. Many had ladders so you could climb down and check it out.
Turns out they are lava tubes!

Hole-in-the-ground near Fort Rock:
Drove down inside but it was dark enough that the pics didn't show much. The hill climb out the north side got exciting when we found a tree over the trail almost at the top.
