Unity

Scenery changes quickly in eastern Oregon.  One minute you’re in the forest and the next you’re out in the sagebrush.  This is on the road to Unity.

 The town of Unity is at a small crossroads.  It was once a mill town.  Now I’m not really sure what keeps it in business.

 

 

 The Forest Service seems to still have a facility here.  It’s a long way to any trees though.

 Small store.

 

 The school.

 

Bates

Nothing much is left of the old company town of Bates.  The mill is long gone.  The homes are all gone.  Now the site is a state park.

 It must have been quite the place during its golden days.

Austin

A barn marks the entrance to the little town of Austin.  There are nowhere near the 500 people in Austin that there once were.

 

 

 More mobile homes under roofs.

 End of the line.
