An Odyssey into the Abyss of Time and Life. Threw some gear in the car, took off again on another RT RoadTrip for 6 months, Trekked back roads to see what's out on the edge. Left B'ham/ Leeds, AL early Spring, returned late Sept. Plan was West to Arizona, then North through the Rockies to Glacier. Ride along on this ITW =Into The West RT to see the best back roads and scenic byways,12,000 miles in all. Just because you wander doesn't mean you're lost. Copyright MCMLXIII ALL Rights Reserved

Leaving the Twisted bark Olive trees and Cottonwoods shade at Farewell Bend st park, headed up the road to see what was in the small town of Hunington, Oregon.
The fantastic treats of this Journey open up every day. This was the/ A Camp / stopping point on THE Oregon Trail. .... watering livestock on the Snake River was a natural rest stop for the Pioneers in Coverd wagons / Wagon Trains to the promised land.
It was the annual heritage day festival in this small town and of course,.. this required stopping to see what was here.
The guys singing Folk songs / pioneer songs & music was good. Local Storytellers were also on stage at times... interesting stories! Saw Huningtons Largest Omelet being cooked.
Some youngsters learning to Calf Rope on a hay bale. Several Native American booths w/ craftwork.
I love to see small towns stop for a day,... neighbors meet and have a little fun. Glad I ran on to this towns history and culture.
