John Day Fossil Beds National Monument....

The Painted Hills of Eastern Oregon, click to enlarge
...Oregon, not quite what most people think about Oregon,
the state has two very distinct halves, most like the other one;
this area is named for the John Day River, with wanders through,
but the hiking trail is great, with many other things to do.

The view is "different" but the colors are nice,
and of course there are fossils, that nature put on ice,
there are people here that come to dig up old things,
and those hills have texture, kind of like tree rings.
