Had a great trip out to the high desert over new year's weekend. It turned out a little different that we had anticipated due to a late night detour over to Mt. Bachelor to help search for a lost skier, but I think we salvaged it nicely with a campout/freezefest instead. I think it's safe to say that if you want solitude, the John Day region when it's below zero is a pretty safe bet! We tooled around the painted hills district north the the town of Fossil, rarely seeing signs of life. A fresh dusting of snow added amazing contrast to the painted hills, and pretty much everywhere else we went we couldn't put the camera down. Enjoy!
