Sunday
4th
May and sadly we parted company from Terry and Sally. We have spent
twelve superb days, sharing good conversation, great food and
exceptional scenery, we will miss them. But perhaps if we go fast and
they go slow we may meet again near the Oregon coast!
We
headed east driving the Journey Through Time Scenic byway, stopping
to visit the John Day Fossil National Monument/Painted Hills section.
We managed to walk a couple of short trails between sun and short showers.
We only scratched the surface of this national monument – under the
hills and valleys of eastern Oregon is one of the richest fossil beds
on Earth. Painted Hills is a photographer's delight!
