Better directions. Go north on I-5 from where ever you are to Weed CA. Turn on to Hwy 97 and follow it north. By Remond OR turn east on Hyw 26. Continue past John Day and Prairie City. At Austin Junction take a left on to Hwy 7. Take that to Baker City. There you are pretty close to my...
Well you could send me your contact number. I was going to make a couple phone calls and get numbers for you but I just found out there is a fire down by Rye Valley. So all my neighbors are busy playing fire fighter right now. Also if you were to write up a single page flyer of you looking...
Oregon is considered by most to be the west coast. But I am not far from Idaho. I lived 40 miles from the ocean for a lot of years. But there is a huge difference between western and eastern Oregon and Washington. Big fires in eastern Oregon last year burned over a million acres.. There is...
Cattle Today. Another cattle discussion website. A young man from Indiana sent me a message on there looking to move this way to work. He sent me a resume. I share it with a couple guys. The one problem here locally is the general lack of available housing thus ranchers provide housing for...
Did you send me a resume over on CT a month or so ago? My advise is to make up a short resume that includes what you are looking for and a contact number. Post at sale yards and livestock supply stores.

Years ago I worked in a log camp in SE Alaska that was owned by Seventh Day Adventists. Not a lot of pork on the menu. They had beef bacon. Seemed just fine to me. Of course running up and down the hills all day packing a 40 pound chain saw will work up an appetite.
Yogi and Bobo are not grizzlies. They are both wearing ties. That is much too formal for a grizzly. Also they are sneaky about stealing picnic baskets. Grizzlies are not sneaky about taking a picnic basket. They simply take it and give you a what you going to do about that look.
Just across the street from old cafe/tavern is the post office. In old Skinner Kirby's book he says that him and his bride lived in the house which is now the post office. That would have been in the late 1920's. This sign is in front of the old school which is now the community building.
The cafe building is still there. A bunch of squatters in camp trailer living behind it now. They tore down the old gas station next to the cafe and are in the process of building a new one. Rumor is that it is the same people who built the new big truck stop at Farewell Bend. The old cafe...
One of my neighbors in college was from John Day. We had a farm management class together. I remember he brought in a Grant County map. It was color coded. Land owned by his Dad, Land owned by his uncle. BLM allotments of Dad's and a different color for uncles BLM. Same with forest...
We use to go through there every year going the Kimberly to the orchard. Great upick peaches. But the trees we planted here started producing so we haven't driven up there in a couple years.
