And I suppose the residents like it that way. Anyway they have a junction that leads to Summerville (nothing there either) and the main that leads to the Wallowa highlands, or retreats to La Grande if you are nervous about the natives being restless. </div> <bR> <div> <A HREF="http://maps.expedia.com/pub/agent.dll?qscr=mmvw&msds=0B177278$E4$FE$36w$F0$FC$36w94!L060Joseph20OR!60!4$FF000!8$FF!60$8A$A1I.$2D$ADF$40$98q$AE$BC$FFN$5D$C0$320001000$C2400$91$F1$10!60$14000!4$FF00$34$C2$2A$40$10$2Cp$C0$AB!4$AArP$4011" TARGET="_top" TITLE="http://maps.expedia.com/pub/agent.dll?qs"><U>Area Map</U></A>    <A HREF="http://maps.expedia.com/pub/agent.dll?qscr=mmvw&msds=099C6FC1$E4$FE$36w$F0$FC$36w94!L060Joseph20OR!60!4$FF000!8$FF!60$8A$A1I.$2D$ADF$40$98q$AE$BC$FFN$5D$C030001000$C2400$91$F1$10!60$14000!4$FF00$36t$B3$3F$10$2Cp$C0$9B$7Ev$AD$AA$9AI$4011" TARGET="_top" TITLE="http://maps.expedia.com/pub/agent.dll?qs"><U>  Street Map</U></A></div> <bR> <div> <IMG SRC="1086ca80.jpg" border=0 width="620" height="424" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <bR> <div> Like much a small town Oregon Imbler has just a cluster of businesses and residences.  We stopped here to buy a newspaper. </div> <bR> <div> <IMG SRC="1736cd10.jpg" border=0 width="620" height="465" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <div> This is the same scene taken the following summer with the snow gone and the sun high. </div> <bR> <div> <IMG SRC="1756cd10.jpg" border=0 width="620" height="465" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <div> Get off the main road and be surprised.  On the outskirts of Imbler we found someone who cared for old steam driven tractors.  Can you imagine driving this beast all day!  Private people preserve these old relics and save them.  The public is generally unaware they exist. </div> <bR> <bR> </td> <td valign="top" width=150 BGCOLOR="#0066CC" TEXT="#080000"> <div> If this town has a slogan someone needs to let us know. </div> </td> </tr></table></body>
