[QUOTE="Dave, post: 1606500, member: 498"] It is 34 miles and there are 3 stop signs. Two of those stop signs you could pretty much roll through. And in a real emergency those 25 miles on the freeway 100 mph is not out of the question. It is reasonably straight and no traffic. What traffic there is is probably doing 80. Being to the hospital in less than 30 minutes is not out of the question. Even life flight will take longer than that to get here. I am only 5 miles from the interstate. On the road in front of my house it is 15 miles to the west to the next ranch A hundred years ago there was a thriving little town. But the gold mines shut down. So now there is just a few scattered ranches. There is a cement mine and plant here which is the largest employer in the county but almost none of their employees live here. They mostly live in Baker City and commute. This county is larger than the state of Delaware. The population is about 16,000. 9,000 of those people live in Baker City which is 30 miles from here. There are 7 other incorporated towns in the county several of those don't even have a gas station. One is actually a ghost town. None of them have what I would call a grocery store. Maybe a convenience store that sells a few grocery items. What there is a lot of is open space. And cows. And wildlife. And sage brush. [/QUOTE]
