In reply to photobyjohnbo.There's not too much difference between northern Oregon and southern Washington. A huge difference between western and eastern Oregon and Washington. :)

In reply to Marsha.We have family that lives in southern Washington, so we have spent a little time in Oregon, but our trip across the state last fall is the longest we've spent there.

John, I love this post. Oregon is one of my favorite places, but I have never been here. Your pictures are gorgeous. Most people think of Oregon as cloudy and gray, but this part of Oregon is a different climate than the Willamette Valley. 🙂

In reply to de Wets Wild.When I think of all the places I could visit in the United States, it makes me wonder why I want to see other parts of the world... yet I do. On our way back to North Dakota, we visited an ice cave in New Mexico that has a frozen lake at the bottom. The cave stays around zero degrees C even in the hot New Mexico summers.

The second installment on the fossil beds are as enthralling as your first, John, and I am looking forward to the next with great expectations! (As I do to read about your trip up to North Dakota!)
