Have you ever been to Imnaha? It is located in Wallowa County in the northeast corner of Oregon. Celia and I went there while staying in Joseph in 2000, when we were looking at real estate. It is about a 30 mile drive easts of Joseph. I remember an elementary school, a small post office, a few houses and a store with a cafe and tavern. As we slowly made our way by this store a half dozen people came to the windows to see us drive by. We continued driving south toward the Hells Canyon and on our return trip through Imnaha all the people in that store returned to the windows to see who was driving by. We may have been the only tourist driving through Imnaha that day.
This reminds me of Shaniko, also in Eastern Oregon. We announced our engagement while staying there with family 30+ years ago.
ReplyDeleteYou shoulda stopped and went into the store so they could really check you both out! That might have turned into their highlight of the week ... or month.
