The Sheep's Rock Unit is all about the fossils, geology and some history. Spectacular, and quite different from the Painted Hills. Different mineral content, but also formed at different times by a free million years.
There's also an old ranch on the property. unfortunately the house, now a museum, was closed but the orchard provided a few windfall apricots (with permission from a ranger). Very hot, around 100 degrees, but dry so not impossible.
Dinner at a local cafe. Met a couple of local high school teachers. There are only 28 students in the school, so though the main person doing the talking is really a history teacher, he has to teach some of everything. Fun conversation and very good food: a burger from local grass- fed beef and an excellent salad. Strawberry rhubarb pie came home with us for dessert.
