6 28 JOHN DAY FOSSIL BEDS

We drove today to the Painted Hills of the John Day Fossil Beds National Monument. We were hoping that we could see fossils, but we were dissappointed to find out that the fossil finding is only for the scientists. All they tell us is where the fossils were found and what info they got from them.

We went to the painted hills portion of the park. To get there we drove thru this crack in the lava flows. This crack has a road in it, and it wasn't made by man, but by nature. It was cool.


Look at the colors in these hills.
