The Pioneer Saloon in Paisley, Oregon is pretty solid, considering it's in the middle of nowhere in the Oregon outback. It's actually a popular stop (not that there's a lot of options) for folks who drive down to Burning Man from Seattle and Portland, so it will be seeing quite a few more visitors over the next few weeks.
- davidw 1mo agoThat whole area makes for a fascinating trip. It is really, really empty and remote. Paisley is home to one of the largest ranches in the US: https://crookcountyhistorycenter.org/2022/10/one-of-largest-ranches-in-the-country/ https://crookcountyhistorycenter.org/2022/10/one-of-largest-... And nearby they found some extremely old coprolites: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paisley_Caves https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paisley_Caves The somewhat nearby Christmas Valley area saw some the world's oldest footwear discovered in a cave https://www.oregonencyclopedia.org/articles/fort_rock_sandals/ https://www.oregonencyclopedia.org/articles/fort_rock_sandal... There are some inland sand dunes near Christmas Valley as well.
