when autumn leaves start to fall

 

But it certainly doesn't feel like fall here today with sunny skies and 89 degree temperatures!  In Elsie, Oregon however, it was fall with overcast skies and rain.  Camp 18 was a Plan B stop on the way to the Oregon coast because of the heavy rain.  We went in and had an impromptu lecture on lighting and our picnic lunch.  The rain lessened and we continued on to the coast.  Camp 18, named after the practice of numbering logging camps, and is located at milepost 18 on Highway 26.

the bench

 

The Randall County Courthouse was erected in 1908.  The historic courthouse square bustled in the first part of the twentieth century with new businesses, a railroad and the West Texas State Normal College just east of the square.  Today Canyon has experienced revitalization with millions of dollars being invested and new businesses being enticed to the downtown. Boutique and antique shops line the square, with benches provided for foot-weary shoppers.

co-op not coop

 

If you are a bona-fide agricultural producer, for a $10 investment you may become a member of  Producers Cooperative Association.  Formed in 1943, it has become one of the largest member-owned local agricultural supply cooperatives in the nation. Members profit through cooperative marketing, purchase power and dividends.  The Co-op is Doughtery's main business and most farmers opt to drink their coffee and discuss farming in the office rather than sitting on the bench outside.  Good decision.
