sighting

Spotted while road-tripping in Eastern Oregon:

There is a neat little hole-in-the-wall mostly east and a little south of
Portland about 160 miles called Shaniko(pop=26). They have a couple of
antique places, a Grand Hotel that has been restored, a restaurant,
icecream parlor and a museum. The museum is teensy, but the livery next
door is full. It's plugged with buckboards, a stagecoach, a covered wagon
and quite a few old cars and trucks in the stalls. Unfortunately, you
can't get to the cars because the stalls are chicken-wired up, but you
can get within a few feet of them. Spotted a white '60 Lebaron(looked
good) and a '31 Imperial(didn't look bad either) amongst a gaggle of
other vehicles. May have been a couple more old Mopars in there but it
was hard to tell...no lites, dark and dirty. I hope during the process of
fixing up the town, they clean up that livery and the cars. It's kinda
like going into someone's old barn right now, but things are happening
around town tho...the wife and her sister were through there a couple of
years ago and the population was 6 and there weren't hardly any
businesses in town. So if you ever take a wrong turn at Sheboygan and end
up in the middle of nothing in Eastern Oregon, you might be close! About
60 miles from the Columbia River.

Remember...wherever you go...there you are.
