Like our trip all over the state of South Carolina to capture an image of every Post Office in the state, the one for Oregon will differ in a couple ways. 1) We are thinking that we aren’t going to chase every single one in the bigger towns, like for instance, Portland’s 2 dozen. And 2) Every single one of them may not have the same automobile in the photos, it might be a Miata or it might be a Mini Cooper.
Toledo to Yoncalla
Trail - 97541
It mystifies me that a town of a few hundred has a post office when there is a post office in a much larger town only 2 miles away.
Troutdale - 98060
Troutdale bills itself as the Gateway to the Gorge and has my local favorite of Old US 30 that bobs and weaves its way to the biggest waterfall you've ever seen. (10/6/24)
Tygh Valley - 97063
A small town of about 200 souls that is right off US197. (07/06/22)
Wasco - 97065
This town is also in Sherman County and has more residents than the county seat, Moro. The door on the right of the photo goes into the town's small supermarket where bought a snack. (07/01/23)
White City - 97503
White City is not really a city, it is a census-designated place that grew out of an Army base that was used as both a training base and a POW camp during WWII. (9/82023)
Wilderville - 97543
Wilderville is halfway between Redwood and Wonder and isn't even a wide spot on US199, it is on a parallel road to it. The Post Office is located inside the Wilderville Store. (10/05/21)
Winston - 97496
All we saw in this town was basically the Post Office, but apparently there is a Wildlife Safari park here as well. It is home to hundreds of animals that wander freely over 615 acres which guests can drive through. We probably would want to put the top and windows up for something like that especially after seeing the Wikipedia page photo of giraffes poking their heads in a minivan. (10/04/21)
Wolf Creek - 97497
In an effort to get here not by using I-5 made a 15 mile, 20 minute drive into a 35 mile drive taking a little over an hour. After crossing the Rogue River and headed east we were on Lower Graves Creek Road which was a glorified one lane road along the side of a mountain with zero guardrails. Fortunately the only car that we encountered happened on a wide spot of the tarmac. (10/04/21)
