Carved cowboys on the porch of the Shaniko Hotel in Shaniko, a tiny Oregon community that is largely a ghost town but also includes a few small businesses serving curious travelers who come upon it in the middle of remote Wasco County. The town was built, beginning in 1898, to serve a railroad that shipped thousands of sheep to market from surrounding farms in the Central Oregon Valley. "R2," carved into the bench, is a nearby ranch. Photo by Carol Highsmith, 2018.
