OK, I went for a little road trip to Powers Oregon. It is a little town between Coos Bay and Roseburg.
At one time it was a logging town with about 1700 residents. Today there are about 700. I met and talked to about 10.
Everywhere I drove people were watching me. I guess for today anyway I was the center of attention.
I had a diet Pepsi at one of the two little restaurants that I found open. People in there were friendly.
I wish I had taken pictures of the people I think it would make this more "Better" in so far as an exciting Blog is concerned. After all isn't that one of the reasons you have come here????
I did take some pictures. I visited the high school and stayed there for about 20 minutes. There are about 157 students. 35 in the senior class.
View from the High School Looking at the town.
Nice huh!
Another view from the High School
Yet another picture from the High School.
Not a great picture of the Foot Ball field. I was too lazy to walk up there so just took the picture you see here.
About 1 mile from the town is this little park. It had no name, perhaps it is the park with no name then again perhaps not. Maybe I didn't see the name because someone stole the name sigh? Isn 't this a nice view?
Such a pretty day and a pretty little park. Can you imaging I was the only one there.
The water was running pretty fast and was very clear. I didn't check the temperature of the water because quite frankly I didn't care.
I think if I ever go back I am going to go out on that rock and just sit there for some period of time. It's got to be calming.
The vandals returned the handle. This is the hotel I am staying in. Rustic and very few leaks in the roof. Thank goodness it was only sunshine and not liquid sunshine.
That's my room up there on the second floor next to the chimney.
No stop signs or street lights. This is the road to the hot spot.
The hot spot was on the seat of the tractor. You know.....Metal seat, Sun Shine. You get it!
Hope you enjoyed looking at these few pictures. What a nice place and those people I spoke with were very friendly.
