This ride was originally planned for 2011.
This ride is sponsored by the clueless idiots at Occupy Portland. Living proof
that drugs will definitely fry your brain. Funded by the Billionaire George Soros
so that they can protest... wait for it.... WEALTHY PEOPLE! People that stupid
should not be allowed out in public without a handler.
Undeterred, we're off to enjoy what is probably one of the last warm, dry weekends
in 2012.
No problems finding fuel on this tour. There is no gas at the I-84/Highway 74
interchange so don't head down if you are on empty. There is an unbranded gas
station in Ione and Shell stations in Lexington and Heppner. The latter are open
on Sundays. There is a Hatts station in Condon, also open on Sunday. No gas that
we saw in Wasco or anywhere in between so you want to fill up in Heppner.
There are more pictures of this ride by clicking the links for:
Hardman part one,
Heppner and
Ione.
This ride is part of the Oregon Blue Mountain Tour (more or less...)
Downtown Hardman, Oregon.
This house is in better condition than many others but it appears to be abandoned
as well.
People lived in this one recently... and perhaps still. Note the Direct TV
parabolic dish antenna facing South.
About a mile down this gravel road off of highway 207 is a tiny settlement.
We didn't go down there since I am not overly fond of gravel roads. But this
could be the original site of Raw Dog. Since a mile isn't that far to walk
(especially back before the turn of the 20th century) I'm surprised at the
reports that Raw Dog up and died once the Post Office was established in
Yellow Dog.
