This Gallery is... The name Owyhee is an
outdated spelling of the word "Hawaii". In 1818, Hawaiian natives,
brought to the Oregon Country by fur-trading ships, were lost in the
Snake River Valley...trying to become fur hunters. They set traps as
far north as
"Salmon River, Idaho" down to "Scotts
Dam", Oregon in the"Wild
Owyhee Canyon" on the "Wild Owyhee River".
Today, boaters motor Idaho's
"Deer Flat Wildlife Preserve",
and Oregon cowboys (father and son) herd cows to
"Cow Creek". Even the "Goslings on the Owyhee
Reservoir"
live a quiet, safe life. Flowers enchant your drive
"Going to Owyhee Dam"; "Western
Prairie Clover" dapples the landscape.
Quick, grab the camera for more Owyhee Canyon
photographs when you first see the tall, majestic
"Pillars of Rome" an occasional lizard at "Succor
Creek"
or a surprise cabin in the midst of "Leslie Gulch"
...all of which serve to give you confidence that none of the ill
fates of the past will become YOUR fortune.
