Outside of Fossil - in north-central Oregon
A Sears Roebuck catalogue kit house - I guess around 1920's. It was used for the ranch hands until about 10 years ago. Then bank wanted to foreclose this farm raising 400 head of beef cattle and the owners - 9th generation Oregonians decided to open a B and B with an emphasis on horseback riding. It is helping them survive. I think they have 10,000 acres. They offer a sunset ride up in the hills where no ambient light can be seen
Gentle rolling land.
Cows starting to give birth - this calf is 48 hours old.
Hattie and Felix
Breakfast with locals. As we were the only guests, they invited some of there friends for breakfast. Real characters - the lot of them. We laughed and laughed at the stories - it was a soap opera.
The Mercantile store in Fossil - a little bit of everything - bullets, tools, food, etc.
There is a field to legally - honor system fee - dig for fossils.
On to the Painted Hills , a national monument
