Thanksgiving Fossil Hunting

We had an amazing trip out to Central Oregon for the Thanksgiving holiday. We stayed in Fossil at a ranch bed and breakfast and headed out each day to explore the John Day Fossil Beds National Monument. The landscape was like hiking on a different planet - which was a hit for the boys. Unfortunately we didn't get a chance to go horseback riding due to the snow but we had a great time have snow battles and following animal tracks in the fresh snow. We also had a chance to hunt for fossils and found 30 million year old plant fossils and impressions as well as 14 million year old shells.
