I remember bicycling across Oregon for the first time in 2010 and comming across John Day Fossil Beds National Monument. It was quite the sight.
I want to bicycle through the high desert trails
Is Grant the man?
Is there RV parking -camping allowed anywhere we want there
I've never been here because it's in the middle of nowhere.
you should go and make a weekend of it. Maybe retreat back to Bend afterwards. Its really awesome
"Nowhere" is a relative term. There's amazing geology out there, fossils also at Camp Hancock, near the little town of Fossil.....fishing all over ....(John Day River has an amazing salmon / steelhead run.)....there's much to do in "Nowhere".
3:17 , did he say 33 bln years?
@glockumollie Uh, no. It's not an eschatological debate. The planet is 4.5 billion years old, get over it. n8834 is pointing out that Grant meant to say million, not billion. 33 million years ago was the Paleogene period.
I was the Electrical foreman on the Thomas Condon Visitor Center!!! I spent nearly 3 years (2004 completion) on projects out there and became a volunteer....such a beautiful place!!!
