….and the property was in Durkee, Oregon. My memory sort of falters after that, but I dimly recall him mentioning finding balloon head brass (.45 Colt? .44 Special? Quien sabe?).

I’ve driven by there more than once, but never had the gumption to search out the exact spot and kick the dirt around. It is fairly desolate but well within reach of Highway 84. Not as though you would need to rustle up a mule and a couple of water bags.

There is a slight possibility I might end up that way again in the next year or two, maybe I need to grow a pair and take a look-see.
