Plans for a full loop around the base of the Steens were scaled back when we realized it was not 100 miles but more like 200. Still, had some fun cruising the valley paved roads on the inflatable wheeled skis, which are much smoother on chip seal.
Went from the field station south to Diamond and then on towards Frenchglen. I was picked up by the support vehicle before reaching Frenchglen. Did about 60 miles that day.
Next day I drove up the Steens Loop while others ran. Determined it is not possible to roll uphill on a dirt road. Not enough momentum. But coming down is another thing all together. I put them on at the top and rolled down toward the top of the rough section above South Steens campground.
