I , too, alone , and with my family as they grew up, have driven by countless times and never turned off in Sprague.
Very interesting to see these old trucks. This is interesting country out there. Originally settled and dryland farmed for wheat,
it is an interspersal of rich farm land and stretches of scab land, washed out by glacial age floods.
I have seen farmers in the region still delivering grain to the silos in old 50’s grain trucks, Gm’s, to this day!
They don’t get a lot of miles put on them, so they last ! Dry there too.
Wally, and others, I have taken to traveling alternate highways to the north on my seasonal peregrinations to and from the coast.
Very rewarding, even if it adds a day to the trip!
