Finished up John Day Fossil and traveled to 10 Mile Campground outside of Boise in the Boise National forest.

Lovely evening. We parked our camp chairs in the creek and stuck our feet in the creek. The temp got to 104 on the way through Boise and I was happy to have Frank as our travel horse (sorry Veronica…)

Idaho tonight! Going, going, Ore-gone

John Day Painted Fossil Beds

Left Tumalo Falls heading east towards the Clyde Holiday campground. Hit the John Day Fossil Beds on the way. Really enjoyed the painted hills, but since it was 100 degrees, we waited to go to Sheep Rock for an early morning hike.

The Austin girls will be happy to note that we did make it inside to see the visitor center video, but we had to do it in shifts since we had Ringo. This shows our dedication to both Ringo and the movie. And as George observed probably because one of us can’t have more facts than the other person…

  • Painted hills
  • It was hot on the board walk on Ringos feet
  • Ha.
  • We got a nice camp spot with great connectivity so George got a few hours of shady work. I tested the ac which works fantastic!
Heres the inside of the T@g. It’s much bigger than it looks on the video. The bed appears to be a king.
