As threatened a little over a week ago, today we started working on taking pictures of Oregon Post Offices.
Because the afternoon was to be a very warm one, we picked a small 80 mile loop that would net us a quartet of local Post Offices – Bonanza, Malin, Merrill and Midland. We are saving our local Klamath Falls P.O. for anytime, it is less than 2 miles away.

- One story goes, the Indians came from the direction of Lakeview and spotted the Big Springs. They were so happy to find water that they called the site Bonanza, meaning, “water plenty.” Another possibility is that the white settlers, who arrived in the late 1800’s named the area Bonanza, a Spanish word meaning prosperity.

- Malin’s southern border butts up against the northern California state line. A quiet little farming town that has a fantastic small veteran’s park. (06/21/20)

- If you look closely at the lower right window of the post office you will see Donna trying unsuccessfully to stay out of the picture. (06/21/20)

- The first of what I suspect may be many post offices that will have the sun directly behind them when we arrive to take their “portraits.” (06/21/20)
