Bog Hot Spring
Bog Hot Spring in Northern Nevada near Denio Junction is pretty darn remote and is a big favorite of Neil's now. I had a hard time getting him out of the water as it is was so nice and warm, plus he was having so much fun with his water blaster trying to shoot down dragonflys.

Alvord Desert
Along the east side of the Steens Mountains...
Panorama...
We stopped and soaked a bit at the Alvord Hot springs. One pool was way too hot because someone had left the inlet pipe open. The other we stayed in for about 5 minutes before we got too hot.
Overlooking the Alvord Desert above the hot springs...
On the playa of the Alvord desert...
We ate a big lunch with big delicious milk shakes at the town of Fields, Oregon...
