doughtery main street

 

 At about 5 miles, you know you're getting close to Doughtery because its landmark black water tower appears.  The town appeared in 1928 and might have prospered except, when constructed, Highway 70 bypassed it by 3 miles.  The school closed but the post office is still open ad the Co-op still sells gas.  I took the scenic route via Idalou, Estacado, Farmer, Cone and Lakeview.
