The shoot is not high desert, it is in the Blue Mountains about 10 miles west of Lagrande Oregon. I doubt we will see snow, a little rain maybe. The site is right along the Grande Rounde River and is very nice country, might even see an elk or two. Hope to meet a few tradgangers there. If you are an early bird shooter, waterproof footwear is recomended, due to early morning dew, usually gone by 10am.
