Oregon: Sherman

The photo that started my whole mission. A wheat field in Sherman County, Oregon. It just caught my fancy.

With less than 2,000 residents and no major cities (qu’elle surprise!) it is also one of the state's lesser known counties. And at only 831 square miles, it is among the smallest of Oregon’s counties.

But I’ve actually had a number of friends from Sherman County, and it has a warm spot in my heart. And at Biggs Junction, one of the most horrible truck stop communities in the nation, there is a convenience store named “Dinty’s”! I can’t help but remember my cousin Dinty (or Elaine) Foster.

Good thoughts for Sherman County!
