Having grown exceedingly weary of driving north and south on I-5 between Seattle and Eugene/Springfield,OR, Elaine and I decided to visit Central Oregon last week on our way south.
The detour was worth every minute. We especially took time to visit the John Day Fossil Beds National Monument--2 of the 3 Units. The Clarno Unit and the Painted Hills Unit. A photo of a view approaching Painted Hills is in the Blog Title now.
I will write more about the trip in my next blog--hopefully in a couple of days. I highly recommend that you take the time to visit this "secret" part of the Northwest. It's beautiful, reminiscent of the old Republic Pictures Western Movies, restful, uncrowded, and fresh.
