On the last day of this trip, during our drive north, we stopped by the ghost town of Shaniko. There are still people living in Shaniko (30 as of 2020), but it is mostly deserted and there are numerous historic buildings. As you'll see in the gallery, I was fascinated by the "Chrysler Fluid Drive" emblem on an old car there, haha. Shaniko does have a hotel, and you can see it in the gallery where my Subaru Crosstrek is parked. For more photos of this quaint location, see the first twelve photos in my 2019 gallery here: 2019 Grand Canyon Trip - Days 1-3
After Shaniko, we drove onward to the town of Antelope and briefly stopped at the historic school there, built in 1925. The school is stated for restoration work to become a city hall / community centre. The last three photos in the gallery were taken inside a quirky little shop in Condon Oregon, called The Condon Local. There, they serve breakfast & lunch, have ice cream and milkshakes, have an espresso bar, sell vintage items and clothing, and have numerous little displays with antiques, like the old boxes of Kodak Developer Tubes shown in my photos. This was the last blog entry and gallery from our 2023 Oregon trip. Next up, photos from Hawaii later in 2023, when Emily and I were on our honeymoon!
