<DIV>Diane: Your are absolutly correct! My error, since I live on the Green side.</DIV>
<DIV>I have spent time in the John Day Country and it is beautiful. I was there for about 3 months on a Geological Survey and lived in tents near the John Day River (South Fork I believe.-it's been a while since I was there.)</DIV>
<DIV>Thanks for correcting me.</DIV>
