A big day because there was nothing except campings between the two towns and our sleeping bags are good to about +4-5C. The weather has been uncharacteristically cold for Oregon this time of year so we are waiting to camp until the weather is better 😉
Lunch at the John Day fossil museum but we weren’t allowed to photograph or film inside. They had a huge collection of fossils
We stopped in Dayville to get a snack and a drink
In John Day we looked at camping but because it was still going to be below freezing we took the motel and split it with Rich who is still part of our group.
As you travel east from John Day, if your schedule permits, visit old mining town of Sumpter (just off the Trans Am), and visit the Oregon Trail Museum just east of Baker City (right on the TransAm).
Thanks for the tips. We missed Sumpter as it was a long hard ride and raining. We are in Baker city. Stayed at the bike hostel in the old school, cool. The museum is sadly closed. We are making a light day today with just 42 miles so we can recover a bit
