Surveyor's Wagon250 viewsFur trapping gave way to mining and other activities in the mid-1800s. This wagon appears to be a vehicle for a surveying expedition. Unfortunately, the surveyor apparently got lost and perished of hunger, thirst and exposure in the desert, or maybe was scalped by Indians, because he is nowhere to be seen.

Down the ramp249 viewsBigelow saunters down from the platform after finishing a round of excavation.

Business as Usual247 viewsA home office of the nineteenth century West, featuring a sewing machine, drafting desk and wood stove instead of a computer and microwave oven.

The Dizzying Heights247 viewsQuestion now is, how do we get him to come back down? Even if he wants to, will he be able? I don't think the FIre Department will come to his rescue...

Blurry Badger246 viewsA bungled zoom shot of Bigelow the Badger as he circles back for another round of burrowing. (Couldn't change the settings quickly enough to get the right ISO and shutter speed.)

Hudson's Bay Co. Fur Trapper Camp244 viewsNote the Hudson's Bay Company flag at the left. For a while there was doubt about whether the Oregon Territory would become part of Canada or the USA. This was resolved by the USA threatening to invade Canada and seize everything up to 54 degrees and forty minutes north, then making the Canadians accept a "compromise" whereby the Americans got everything they really wanted in the first place.

The Real Mattox Residence242 viewsChuck and Elouise Mattox's exquisite house in Bend, Oregon. Note the weeping cedar tree just to the right of center - one of my favorite features of the property.

A Prickly Character239 viewsPokey the Porcupine, Gert the Grey Fox's next-door neighbor. We met up with him again later.

Native Pride and Native Sovereignty239 viewsModern Native Americans take pride in their heritage and vigorously assert their sovereignty, which sometimes involves claiming to belong to several different tribes at once.

Fort Nez Perce237 viewsScots officers, French Canadian and Iroquois fur trappers manned the fort, which was named for what was presumably the dominant local Native American tribe, upon whose lands the fort was encroaching.

A parking place for Sonja236 viewsAnother view of the house front, with our Subaru Red Sonja parked next to it behind Chuck's truck.

Native American Handicrafts235 viewsAnother line of business often pursued by Native Americans is the production and sale of traditional goods such as baskets, pottery, jewelry, scalps, etc.
