I live in Central Oregon, and I have for 30 years. I have never seen the balancing rocks. I've wanted to for years, so today, I googled them, and found these instructions, and took my friend from the valley, and we ventured out to see this marvel of nature.

I still have not seen them. We saw a lot of rocks. We saw a lot of water, and a lot of desert. We drove a lot of rocky, washboard gravel road. We found a gate which prevented us from going further in the wrong direction. (I think I may have heard banjo music, so we skedaddled out of there). But we did not see the balancing rocks.

I wish that there had been more information, for instance, instead of saying drive toward Perry South campground, that it had said, "if you get to Perry South campground, turn around, you have gone too far."

On the plus side, it was a beautiful day, probably the last hot day of the year, and my friend and I enjoyed ourselves. I will try again some day, when my patience has replenished.
