Barn-Spotting

OK – it’s been painfully long since I last posted. But what a treat to return to. I had the pleasure of exploring the NE corner of Oregon – the Wallowas – back in August and it was just beautiful.
A quiet morning outside of Joseph, Oregon
Another treat to see on an early morning walk.
The Wallowas are a beautiful mountain range overlooking high, dry farmland. The mountains encompass a Forest Service wilderness area, with all the adventure that comes with such rugged and remote places. There’s great food, music and less rugged activities than backcountry trekking, for those not interested in that.
For me, I enjoyed barn-spotting as a new sport.
This barn reminds me of Wimpy from Popeye.
I loved the shape of this barn.
Just another barn that invites one to drive the back roads.
Whatever your pleasure, this remote corner of Oregon is a treat to visit. Put it on your list!

Do you know what the symbol on the barn means? Very curious.

I think it’s similar to a cattle brand – that ranch’s particular symbol. I’ve no idea what it means, but it looks like a smile to me.

Beautiful Bry! Time to adventure east alright! Thanks for the inspiration. Reminds me of the red barn driving over the hill to the Gulch — it was always the signal we were almost home.

Beautiful. I’m ready for a road trip after seeing these.

Hi Bryan! I was just checking your blog to see if you’ve updated it, and was surprised to see your post about being in eastern Oregon – in the Wallowa Mountains.
I was there TOO (last Sept.) on an organized 2 week bike tour! 
I found it to be very pretty also and took lots of pics. 
The tour started in Walla Walla, WA, and did a loop down into eastern Oregon. Funny that we were there around the same time! 
Hope you are well… Take care, Charmy
