See the USA our way.
Wednesday, Sept. 22nd
We’re off. Sunny day, smooth air and tailwinds gets us to Ogilvie Field Grant County Airport in John Day Oregon in a mere 2 ½ hours.
The airport provided a vintage Dodge Intrepid boat in which I immediately hung my GPS. In spite of which it took three circlings of the airport before we located the exit to town. We lunched at the Grubsteak in John Day and preceded 40 mi West to The John Day Fossil Beds National Monument. We toured an outstanding Visitors Center containing actual fossil pieces from the area.
Then we had time for a short hike through the surrounding mountains before a quick dinner at the Dayville Café where deep fry is their specialty. Ymmmm
At the end of a 5 mile dirt road we arrived at our destination, the Lands Inn B&B, where we were greeted by Carol (owner) and Black (her dog). We were escorted to our double A Frame cabin overlooking a large vintage 1920’s hanger with a classic Stinson Bobcat parked out front of their grass strip runway. Nighty night.
