Wonderful trip report! I hope to be back in that area this fall. That old cook stove is a beauty. I’m surprised it’s still in good shape.


Thanks for sharing so we can tag along!

Looks like that was a great trip! Thanks for posting the report.

I would love to incorporate some of the places you've found into my own trips. Lots of times it's pretty easy to find where you were, other times not so easy. I would like to see that cabin and the area. I found it but it took me a while. That is definitely the middle of nowhere!

I believe that your cowboys were most likely:

Franklin Davis “Frank” Paxton, born March 15, 1879 in Oregon.
Died June 18, 1955.
Buried in Lakeview, Oregon.

Gordon Seth DeVore, born October 12, 1888 in Higginsport, Ohio.
Died February 3, 1969 and buried in Portland, Oregon.

Thanks for trip report. Maybe I’ll see you all at a petroglyph billboard one of these days.
Take care, Geologyjohn.

GeologyJohn, that’s impressive sleuthing! Thanks for sharing.

I'll second that!

I was wondering how/where you found that info. I wish I was that good at that as you are.
