The Chalk Basin 3: Monday

Before leaving the Chalk Basin, Michael and I took one last hike.  This hike took us cross county to an area above the lower Owyhee River knows as the chalk cliffs.  On the float trips I have made on the lower Owyhee river, we have camped below these formations on the second night of rafting.  I have always want to see this area from above. I finally fulfilled that desire.

PS I did successfully drive the Cherokee out to the road, although not as boldly as Michael 🙂

I snapped this picture of Michael taking a picture of this lizard just as it ran, Note the dust and shadow.

 

The Cherokee finally gets a bath!
