Prairie City, Oregon Lumber
Mill
June 19, 2007.
We are staying at Mountain View Travel Park in Baker
City. $24.79 FHU, shade and a nice enough RV-Park. It must
be a former KOA since they charge extra for everything, $2 extra for
wifi, $2 extra for larger sites, you get the picture.
This was a slow day for us and we got a late start. At first we were
undecided about what we wanted to do but finally settled on heading
out to John Day since we had not been out that way. So John
Day it was. By the way John
Day is the name of a small east Oregon town.

We stopped so I could watch operations but virtually nothing was
happening.

The mill is obviously an operating mill but no machinery is operating
and no employees can be seen.
That is Strawberry
Mountain in the distance.

Lumber mills create huge piles of scrap bark and sawdust.

We have seen large 18-wheel trucks hauling finished lumber from this
mill on the way over here today. We have also seen logging trucks
delivering huge ponderosa pine logs to this mill. We just don't see
any at the moment.
For those interested Prairie City had a small museum and a connecting
RV-Park.
