The Peter Skene Ogden State Park is intense, for such a simple park. Located 9 miles (14 km) north of Redmond along on U.S. Route 97, the vertical basalt cliffs and river canyons are just ridiculously steep! There are three bridges crossing the canyon: one for pedestrians, the Highway 97 bridge, and the historic Crooked River High Bridge which is now closed to vehicles.
No all who wander are lost, but getting lost in this amazing part of eastern Oregon really isn’t half bad.

I couldn’t really understand Dylan when he had the mic. I think he was all “Why’s a building still called a building even after the whole construction bit is waaaaaay finished?”
Grain elevator in Eastern Oregon.
This is the talented Peter Kim, showing his enthusiasm with a full-on leap of faith.
Seen in LA sometime back in 2007. I don’t know if it was actually Banksy’s work, but it sure looks like it.
Likewise, this amazing grain elevator was confirmed to have been dismantled since I last checked in on it. Dang biggest structure for miles around, and I never even got to look at the inside!
I first came across this bit of desolation near Kent, OR back in 2012.
On this property was a gallon glass jug that had been halfway filled with bones from dead critters, mostly mice.
It creeped me the heck out. I came back to check in on the bottle this year, and to my surprise it was in the exact place I’d left it.
Mind you, this is three years later, but this time… there was only like two or three mice bits left! Nothing else but air, a few bugs and a little bit of dust!
What kind of weird carnivorous jug is this?
I left it where it stood.
Heck, there’s holes as big as your head all around the house, so I wasn’t about to stick around and figure this mystery out.
Cray…
I love it when people wire lamps into the branches of their trees. This particular lamp is hanging up in a junkyard in Las Vegas.
