GHOSTS OF TIMES PAST:
A FIELD TRIP TO BOOM TOWNS OF CENTRAL OREGON
SAT & SUN SEPTEMBER 25-26th
$75 MEMBERS / $95 GENERAL
Join Keith May, author of Ghosts of Times Past: A Road Trip of Eastern Oregon Ghost Towns (Sigh Drighed, 1998) for a not-to-missed two-day bus tour of ghost towns of central Oregon. The first day includes stops at the long-forgotten boom towns of Boyd, Dufur, Friend, Shaniko and Antelope. The group lodges in Fossil for the evening, where we’ll meet staff from the Fossil Museum and take in a lecture by Dick Pugh, renowned meteorite scientist from Cascadia Meteorite Lab. The following day, will have a short hike through the spectacular Painted Hills, led by tour guides from the Paleo Lands Institute, an organization dedicated to leading education programs on the geology of eastern Oregon. $75/ Members; $95/ Non-members*

There may also be a camping option (camping gear not provided); we will have more info available in mid-September.
