We left Cheney WA and headed for Quincy WA. Because of on and off closure of I 90 and because of fires we mapped out a route along secondary roads. We did have to travel a short distance along I 90. Then it was onto route 23 and then on to the 28 into Quincy. It was a very interesting route through 6 or 7 small towns. It was farm field after farm field. Very very little traffic, most of the traffic were pick-up trucks or tractor's.
The stories these old barns could tell.
We saw many grain elevators, usually next to a railroad tracks.
Enjoy seeing old building still with business open, no big box stores in the area.
Note the sign, I wonder the age of this building. Just image a Studebaker dealership in this small building. Studebaker went out of business in 1963. I bet the pickers Frank and Mike from the hit show on the discovery channel would like to get this sign.
Many old pick ups for sale.
Fields after fields.
More grain elevators, standing like sentinels.
There are little signs hanging from the arms of the welcome sign telling of some of the business in this town. I wonder what was in the empty spots.
Garlic plants in corn and wheat country.
We have a town near our home town in PA with the same name.
Linda tries getting pictures of wall art or murals. She capture hundreds and hundreds. I think her quest is to capture all in the country. Some day we will get then all in a folder and create a slide show for our digital picture frame. She has many historic murals that tell the history of the town. We have photos from Florida to Alaska. It would be quite a project.
I think of Linda whenever we see a mural and then forget to take a picture :-)
