- In the northwestern territories of the United States, logging became a vital industry for mining and construction. The logging town of Whitney became a settlement for those working in the timber industry and a supply center for the railroad and passenger service for those traveling to other mining towns. When the need for logging in the area declined, the town faded into the past as a ghost town.
I went through that area last in 2018? One home occupied (dogs -out-front), 2nd on the right off the highway. Three lady-hikers in the car with me but I'm glad I stopped and chatted with last the owner for a bit. Doofus-lovey dog, and angry-dog got over me in a bit and I am so glad I got to chat withe that guy! Stunning-beauitiful country from John Day up through Sumpter!
I thought that one old house looked like it had a new metal roof
I love that picture of the old logging trucks. Amazing.
And another great episode. The videos and pictures are great. AND the history you provide bring the ghost towns back to life. Thank you for your wonderful history on these ghost towns and other places.
I quite enjoy how crucial post offices were to these settlements. Makes my meandering about in a Grumman LLV feel a bit more significant.
Kids loved the covered wagon subscribe! Hats off to your amazing animator! ❤
I'll tell her
200 of them in Oregon amazing lived here all my life never knew it was that many the only one we ever heard of relentlessly Shanaka
Been to Sumpter, probably been very close to Whitney but had no idea it was there.
Been there a couple times. I nicknamed it the "Whitney Mosquito Breeding Grounds". They swarm you when you stop to take pics in Whitney. I gave about 2 pints. (ok, maybe not, but close)
A marsh nearby?
@@deanfirnatine7814 there's a couple of meandering creek that wander through that whole valley and its all somewhat marshy grassland.
Whitney is in the Burnt river valley, not the Powder river where Sumpter is. The railroad came up from Unity.
Wow, Sumpter Oregon, go figure?
Can you find anything on Bridgeport Or?
Just love your channel. Deforestation is still a problem. I miss your little subscribe sharp-shooter. 😆 Thank you.
I love the miner version XD I think they alternate around.
No it’s not.
There are more trees than ever and that is causing lots of massive fires here in Oregon.
Can you pick up the pace a little bit….this is boring as hell
