May 6-7, 2017: John Day Fossil Beds & Kingston Prairie (Oregon)

The first 10 photos here are from Highway 26 in eastern Oregon, on my way back from Utah; the last 20 are from Kingston Prairie Preserve, southeast of Salem. Most everything else in between is from in and around the various units of John Day Fossil Beds National Monument.
