Huck in the Ochoco's

Huck ventured to the Ochoco's this past weekend.  


Up near our campsite we found this artesian well.   I assume it was set up for some wild horses in the area.  Huck sniffed around and found some scent.


 A quick run around the area and his inspection was complete.


Returning back to road.



There was this odd structure, what was it for and why here?  No fence line in area, I thought it was meant to be filled with rock as an anchor post. It was too small to hold a horse.  No idea.  Huck inspected it and it seemed to interest him.



Huck has various projects he works on while I bird.  Most involve some sort of study he is doing involving sticks found on the forest floor. 



I think it involves what lies under the bark of the twigs and branches.



Rodent analysis is another project, their burrows are constantly being evaluated.


General road inspections are also done.



Gate inspections and cattle locations and counts are carefully noted.



Survey markers are also placed.


No wonder he got so tuckered out after two days of hard work.
