4 traffic lights?
downtown Omak, walmart corner, the new gas station in So Omak......where's the other one?
Largest county in the state, smallest population, (4?) traffic lights, 40 miles to the nearest WalMart
just a couple real life pics and the rest of the story-
trying to get a good picture of a cat is tough~~~~
our back door-
the rest of the story- that big yellow lab used to be able to fit through the cat door, (for about 4 weeks) when he was a puppy. The plywood on the door- our next door neighbors were at the hospital for baby #2 during the summer. Thunderstorm came through around 10:00pm, and their german shepard dog clawed the cat door out of the 1/4" plywood panel that was the door's lower panel, clawed a hole into the plywood large enough to squeeze into the house. She stayed with us that night.
what can I say? chile pepper wreath for $6, gotta get it!
the story of the town that was-
once upon a time there was a tiny town called Carlton. It had a store with gas pumps, a motel, a restaurant with an RV park, a river rafting business and a historic tiny structure that was the original post office of the town.
One day, (*about 4 years ago....*)Mr. BigBucks came to town. He had a great vision of moving his family out of the city and living the good country life. So, he bought the country store/gas station, then he bought the apartment building across the way, then he bought the restaurant/rv park....and did I mention he bought a $850k house?...and then he bought the property that had the river rafting business.
fast forward a couple years- the store is closed, no gas, the restauraunt is closed, the old post office is ravaged, the river rafting company is gone.....
the 850k house- they got evicted so before leaving the house they turned off the heat, but didn't turn off the water pump. Winter Freezing Weather.... and there was an ice cascade outside the 2nd story windows. House ruined.
