To the Great Divide and Beyond

While Aya was stuck in meetings all day, Pops returned to the Boar's Tusk area to finish up some paintings.

After exiting the area on one of the nastiest washboard roads of the trip, Pops drove to the South Pass area where the Oregon Trail and others found the easiest route through the mountains.

Oregon Butte is so named because it marked the beginning of the Oregon Territory back in the day.

It is situated on the Continental Divide, actually where the Divide splits into two where drainaged flows neither East nor West.  It is the Great Basin.

Also are the Badlandish Honeycomb Buttes.

The day was capped by the artist Art Chat and a few beers afterward.
