We’ve arrived in our home state and are enjoying having someone else pump the gas (and there’s no tax here)!
We spent 2 days at the Malheur Wildlife Refuge. It was very hot but the evenings brought beautiful clouds and a few sprinkles. Today we visited the John Day Fossil Beds Visitor Center (too hot to go out hiking) and the Painting Hills (too rainy to paint). We’re parking at the Prineville City Park overnight and checking mail at the local Dillions Bookstore.
We’ll be visiting the Lewis and Clark museum in The Dalles before heading to Portland to see family, and THEN we head home to Corvallis.
