It’s amazing how all that land was home steaded back in the day. Ranch-hands would go into town once a year get paid get drunk and then stumble over to the courthouse and sign the deed over to the ranch owner.
Wonder how much juniper and sage brush were shoved into that hearth over the years.

My family didn't really know my GGpa owned any land over there since he was homesteading up in Washington state. We knew we had a cousin that had a ranch NW of Delintment Lake and an aunt that was a teacher at Pine Creek School. When I was searching records for exactly where his place was is when I found my GGpa's property. He owned quite a few different parcels in that vicinity apparently.
I can smell that fire! I can't imagine being there all winter.
50 years ago I had the old timers in that area telling me that the Eastern Oregon winters and the winters all over the Pacific northwest for that matter were much more severe.
The old boys told me they couldn't feed sagebrush into those old airtight stoves fast enough.
Said they'd get the old stove so hot and burning so hard it literally jump up and down on the floor.
One old boy was telling me how it would be so cold they wouldn't go out and use the outhouse.
Just crap on a paper plate and throw it in the stove.
Someone needs to tell that TN State Trooper to get back across the state line.
She wasn't anyone's Grandma back when that picture was taken............I remember those days.............
Dodge made the GTX from 70-79...........I'm thinking it is from the early 70's...........
My grandfather told me stories about hanging his pants the bed and jumping up out of bed to put clothes on by the fire. Nobody got out of bed before the parents got it good and roaring.

These pictures while very important really bother me. I see a father that can’t provide for his family, is beyond ashamed and there is no one to listen or able to help. It’s all on him and there are no solutions. There is a quiet burden a real man and husband has for his family, and not meeting that need is a true, deep misery of the soul only the man knows. He can’t even convey it. And it eats him away, every day. What else is the family to do but trust and follow? And look to him. He grasps at straws, knowing that nothing is working out, everyone has their own problems and no one cares. He has to look at his wife and wonder if she still has confidence in him, loves him any longer or if she is still hanging on because there aren’t any other options. All the hope that was there on the wedding day is gone, it’s just day to day coping and hoping. And that works on him even more. I see these pictures and just see pain, and know that even worse is coming: WW2.
And 80 years later we have become a welfare nation. Free shit for everybody. The gov will take care of you. I have more respect for that man than any free shit army leeches!
1978 was the first year for the plastic bumpers on the Camaro. So you are correct
No he's not. He's our mostly wrong automotive expert.
Yeah, I was gonna say if it’s mounted upside down, it’s been mounted upside down since 1970.
It was probably destined to be shipped to Australia?
I see someone sitting around, waiting. Waiting for someone to do something for him. Instead, he should be up and doing something for his family and himself.
Our current generation is the same, they just look different.
Seems like the times don't really change much at all.
She's got the Jack!!
Actually this would have been my grandmother. And from what I understood she was one party girl.
Psst. I see a man doing whatever is necessary to improve his family's circumstance. He'll probably kill a bunch Nazis just 2 years later and return a hero in the eyes of his loving wife, children, and nation.
No disagreement about that. I’m more talking about the mental aspects of the condition of it all within the context of the society of married men at that time.
You know, I’ve hated Roseanne Barr for years. It’s sure makes it hard to love her now. But this is frikkin gold.
Showing off his white privilege. That bastard.
Kintpuash, Capt Jack, off 395, shelter / dinner , out of cold weather, did not end well… A long time ago.
