I started to write a big involved thing about all of the surrounding attractions, how to get there, what to see, etc. Then I looked at my page count and realized that I’d kill at least half a small forest printing all of the stuff out, not to mention that many folks will just toss it anyway. Then I’d have to mail it down to the UN and I thought it’d be easier to assemble a list of links so that you can find what interests you.

 

I’ll have my laptop at the UN, so if you want to look something up (and I’m around) then we can help you.

 

John Day:

John Day links

 

Canyon City (3 miles south of JD):

Oxbow Trade Company

St. Thomas Episcopal Church

Grant County Historical Museum

 

Prairie City (14 miles east of JD):

Prairie City history and links

DeWitt Museum

 

Sumpter (57 miles NW of JD)

Sumpter Valley RR

 

Wilderness, Forests and Monuments:

John Day Fossil Beds National Monument

Malheur National Forest

Strawberry Mountain Wilderness

 

Hot Springs (might be better in December?):

Blue Mtn

Weberg

Mt Vernon

Ritter

 

 

I’m planning on visiting fire lookout towers, hoping the higher altitudes will stave off the heat. I believe that the JD area has the two tallest towers in the world, over 100’.

 

Lotsa Links

Rex’s Links

I hope you’ll find some time to check out a few things that might interest you. See you in John Day!
