This town
So many kinds of awesome.
I hear that they Are admissible in a court of law.
I think I am in the wrong line of work.
I think this one is better without the explanation.
This ice pop was enjoyable much longer than we had expected.
We are presently at the top-middle of this map.
Welcome to Antelope, Oregon.
Antelope was established in the late 1800s'.
Their post office was established in 1871.
This is the towns house of ill repute.
The internet doesn't really tell me what happened in Antelope between then and World War II.
Some stuff I presume.
"After World War II, the community languished until the 1980s"
At which point followers of Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh moved in an claimed the town as their own.
I believe the town was renamed for a while to reflect it's dominant population.
I could tell you about the Rajneeshee and their bio-terror plots, however, I assume you have access to the internet and don't need me to misquote Wikipedia for you.
This is an Old Time fire hydrant.
Megan attempts to urinate on a piece of history.
Megan's contempt for history is duly noted.
This is an old time jail.
This is the room inside of an old time jail.
This is the inside of a cell, inside a room, inside an old time jail
This is me inside a cell, inside a room, inside an old time jail.
And the green grass grows all around.
