Beyond John Day

It was a short drive today, still north bound on US 395. It was light traffic and that was great, as the highway is a narrow and twisting road. We planned to drive less than two hours and camp at Clyde Holiday State Recreation Site. When we got there, the gate was closed and a Lone Ranger was working a construction project on the entrance station. He was friendly and suggested other places to stay. We continued west for 30 miles to Dayville, where we reserved two nights at a very small private RV park, “Fish Inn RV Park”. Only 8 standard RV sites. It may be small, but VERY clean and well kept. We walked to a nearby cafe for lunch. On the way back to camp, we passed several Maple trees. They must have been planted by the original settlers as they were the largest maples we have ever seen. The stump of one had a sign the read 23’ 4” around. Then in the late afternoon we took the Jeep back to John Day for gas and groceries. Dayville is a very small town, but very cute.Read more
