An Honest To Goodness Old West Town, Shaniko, OR.

I don't remember all the particulars, but, this town was a real going concern in the middle 1800's.  Cow town deluxe.  Now, there are probably a whopping 100 people who live here, fulltime. 

See the whitish building on the left side of the street/road?  Well, that is an old hotel.  I don't know if it's still up and running but when hubby and I were engaged, we talked to the managers about getting married there. 

Anywho, after looking around, there may be closer to 50 full time residents.  I can truthfully say the winter here is a mutha of winters!!  Nothing to stop the wind and snow!!  Plunging temps but you have to be tough and no whining or complaining!

Got The A/C Fixed, Only To Have This To Drive Into....

We about died of heat over the weekend. Then spent all of Monday with my truck in the shop. The a/c works fine now.

Then I get up this morn to find cloud cover and a 58 degree temp.

Can't win 'em all....

Izzat Rain On The Horizon??

Oh, God, let it pour!! It has been so freakin' hot and humid that we are feeling ill from the effects.

We went in to eat and while there, the sky clouded up and the wind started blowing!

Oh my!! The rain has just started this 10 seconds and it is pouring!! Yeah, baby!

The temp has plummeted from 92 or so to 76 degrees in the space of a few minutes! What a phenom!!

Bring it, bring it, bring it!!
