I am back again for the second time in the span of a week for one thing, a Breakfast Smoothie Bowl from Brevada Brewhouse tomorrow morning. That is the reason why I came last weekend too, but Brevada is closed Sunday, so I was going get it on Monday morning, but the impending snow in the mountains made me leave early. I feel like this smoothie bowl has became a Quixotic Quest.
Because when Donna and I left Klamath Falls for Fairview, I sold the CBTNL to David, the co-owner of Brevada, he had promised me a free smoothie bowl whenever the next time I got to Klamath Falls. So, by my reckoning, this free treat will have set me back approximately $460. Three hotel rooms at $100, only 2 of which I will have used, and 4 full tanks of gas at around $40 each.
But it isn’t really about the money because I would have had to cross the Eastern Cascades a few times anyway for taking the post office photos I’ve taken while coming here twice. There were 6 last weekend and I picked up 8 on the way over today. With a chance at 5 more on the way back.
-
- Lyons – First stop on the way to Klamath Falls for the second weekend in a row. (4/6/25)
-
- Mill City – This is a fairly young city in that it was incorporated in 1941 and it was named such because of the two large lumber mills here. (4/6/25)
-
- Detroit – I tried to out wait the the person in the black SUV, but after about 5 minutes I took the picture. (4/6/25)
-
- Idanha – When I got back after this trip and updated my spreadsheet as to which POs I’d photographed I mistakenly highlighted this as the Imnaha – 97842 even though the picture clearly shows Idanha – 97350. (4/6/25)
-
- Sisters – This is a new post office building made to look like it is a hundred and 50 years old, similar to the historic buildings downtown. The illusion is totally wasted because every other building in a 2-mile radius is brand spanking new. Also this Post Office picture is the one that got me over the mid-point of the 391 post offices in the state. (4/6/25)
-
- Bend Downtown – This was a busy section of town and when arrived I was on the wrong side of the road and there were no empty spots at all except for these two handicapped spots. I did a quick u-turn, hopped out of the car, snapped a photo, back in the car and gone in 20 secs. (4/6/25)
-
- Bend DCU – If you look to the extreme right side of the photo you’ll notice a deer grazing away. This one and his 4 friends just pretty much ignored me the whole time. (4/6/25)
-
- Sunriver – This is another of the trying to wait out a customer to get a clean photo. In the end I modified my phot taking location to hide them. There is a car hidden behind the pine tree on the left. (4/6/25)
P.S. The Sisters Post Office (lower left) officially put me over the halfway point of the other Quixotic Quest I’m on, taking a picture of every Post Office in Oregon.
