And at the end of the street was South Baker, where the narrow gauge Sumpter Valley Ry. took off west for Prairie City,
some 80 miles away. I believe they reach PC in 1912, so Batesville was probably the end of the line. You'd have to unload
your T and drive over Dixie Summit to get down into John Day country. :-)

Notice all the "road apples" in the street.

Yes Steve. It seems we still are dodging "road apples" when we are in a parade. Some things never change.

Well, at least they're smaller than most "meadow muffins".... :-)

My Dad was born in Baker Oregon. He turned 97 on Dec. 2. He was born on the family farm. His mom placed him in a shoe box near the wood stove to keep him warm. Was only 2-1/2 lbs. when born. Every day I have him is a blessing. He started me out helping him work on model T's and A's before I was 10 yrs. old. Dad worked as a machinist. We restored a number of brass era. cars together over the years. Could not ask for a better life with my Dad.

Merry Christmas

Great Story, Les.

Wanna trade ? My old man was a terror. A mean and surly bastaad. I was happy to see him go.

I drove a T in the Leo Adler parade down that very street a few years ago and then spent the night at The Geiser Grand Hotel (the building in the picture with the corner tower). We spent a week in Sumpter on a local ranch. What a great area for Model T touring.
