Oregon

George Schnee of Mitchell, Oregon

This is George Schnee, who runs Schnee's Grocery in Mitchell, Oregon. I've met a lot of interesting people already, and George struck me as a genuinely cool guy. He's also the one that told me about the RV park in Dayville that I enjoyed so much. Thanks George!

The geology is fascinating in this area. Huge uplifted slabs at an angle - does anyone know how these are formed? There's a canyon just west of here that was great fun ripping through on the motorcycle, but I was told later that someone had killed themselves on a bike there the day before. There's literally no runoff, so if you make a mistake, it's going to be bad. I'll go slower next time.

This is the best $8 I've ever spent. Mike, the owner, keeps it absolutely immaculate. The grass is like a putting green, and the bathrooms, showers and laundry are as clean as the best hotels. Great place.
