We are now at Malheur National Wildlfe Refuge which is located about 25 miles south of Burns, Or. It may be wierd to think of a refuge in the middle of Eastern Oregon but there are many lakes and ponds in the area and birds and other creatures have been here or migrated through here for centuries.
We left Eugene about 10:15 on Tuesday and arrived at the refuge about 6:15. (approx. 260 miles) We are provided with a paved site with full hook ups to park our trailer at the park headquarters. Wednesday was spent getting settled in and Thursday our supervisor took five of us volunteers on a tour of the refuge from one end to the other. Lots of country to see with lots of history in its past. R & I will be docents at the Sodhouse Ranch Sun, Mon, & Tues each week. The ranch dates from the 1880's and had 9 of the original buildings along with corrals and fences. There will be about a dozen cows and calves there to help make the display more real. I will elaborate further in the days to come.
