August 15, 2007, Rincon Flat, Harney County, OR: After crossing Domingo Pass the road drops down to Rincon Flat. The test is to your map reading skills to select the correct road to get you where you want to go. As mentioned in the previous article there are no road signs out here. Our route runs North/South along Rincon Creek so we have little problem with navigation.
There is evidence of human occupation in this valley. Fences, livestock, and hay fields line the road. Eventually we pass a ranch house and we finally meet another vehicle. We slow down to reduce the dust plume as does the other driver and we wave as we meet.
