Day 13: Monday, April 17

We woke up to freezing temperatures and snow this morning. We spent over an hour at a McDonald's in John Day hoping to wait it out. The clouds broke for a little while, however it continued to snow off and on throughout the morning. We stopped by the Ranger Station in Prairie City, about 15 miles from John Day, and they said they were expecting snow and freezing temperatures the rest of today. However tomorrow's forecast was much brighter and warmer so we decided to spend the rest of today and tonight here in Prairie City. We are camping at the Depot County Park, where they have some historic buildings and an old train car.
