Painted Canyon

Good morning all!
Yesterday was mostly a travel day.
Left Pendleton about 10:30 and drove one curvy road after another.
Lost count of how many passes we went over.
And oh, the beauty of Central Oregon!




Starts out like above, south of Pendleton.
And quickly goes into hills and trees.
Rocks and canyons.



Made a side trip into the John Day Fossil Beds to see Painted Canyon.

 This is a lot of how we turn a 4 hour trip into 7 hours.
All most always worth the diversion.


























Travel days are not very exciting and the diversions help us keep going.
As you can see Millie and the "fur kids" are doing fine and enjoy the little hikes.

Made it to Bend about sunset yesterday. Got set up, ate and walked for a while then off to bed.
Today we have to decide if we are going to stay here and possibly lose the opportunity to cross the Cascades to the west or go today. Would like to rest and see some of the Bend area.
Guess we will let you know tomorrow what we decide.

Hugs and make good choices
Tom & Millie
