From Pre-pandemic Days

In early October I spent five days in the John Day country. On the third day of the trip I journeyed to the Sheep Rock Unit of the John Day Fossil Beds National Monument.

After a visit to the Historic James Cant Ranch on the John Day River, I went to the Blue Basin area.

The Island in Time Trail gently climbed along a canyon floor into a bluish-green amphitheater.

Truly amazing.
