Don't forget that though this town is populated by barely a thousand, it is surrounded by somewhat larger towns. Riddle is a part of TriCity, and though many work at the lumber mills (only two local ones left, if I remember right), more and more people are being forced to look elsewhere for a job, either at one of the few mom and pop shops all clustered on a single street, or at the ever expanding 7 Feathers Casino. This town is populated by many retired people, just simply enjoying their time left in a quiet, small city. Each year, about 30-40 students graduate, pointing out the fact there aren't many young lings here. If it isn't raining here, then it's pretty much always just the right weather and temperature for a nice picnic at the park, located just next to the small police station and library. I myself visit Riddle very often, every other weekend to see my dad, who works for Umpqua Reseach, and half the Summer. It's the absolute perfect place to spend some time alone walking along the small trails along Cow Creek, or listen to the humorous quiet conversations at the only coffee shop. Being half and hour away from Roseburg, and an hour and a half from Medford, I strongly suggest you spend some time here if you ever pass through.

Sawdust Jubilee
I grew up in Riddle during the 1970/80 time. The biggest event for the town is the yearly Sawdust Jubilee held around July 4th. Riddle has a huge display of fireworks on this day as well. National Geographic society could have a great article on the simple life here with the hard working men and women of this town in the timber business.

I love your one and only picture of Riddle. Doesn't it tell it all, though! You have a wonderful knack of catching so much in each picture you take. Great job, Kait!

Me too!
I was saddened to hear of the upcoming demolition of the tower. It was such a proud symbol of our (Rainier's) entering the modern age. The fact that it increased our tax base by a factor of 20 didn't hurt any either. To me it is all such a waste. And I grieve. Thanks for a thoughtful blog.

What a sad story the Trojan Tower could tell. It had so much potential, added so much to the community of Rainier. It was honestly a very good neighbor. I'm sorry to see the demise of what could have been such a valuable asset. The landscape and area will be bare without her. Thanks for alerting us to the end of the Trojan story.

Awesome
Honest to Pete, I don't know how you find such out-of-the-way, gorgeous places! Westfir is a place I'd love to visit. Covered bridges are so elegant, and I'm happy this one is being maintained. Your pictures of the exterior and interior are superb, plus the historical background just adds flavor to the whole package. Keep up the good work!

Stayton
I've been to Stayton, but didn't know anything about it. The Florence fun fact is committed to trivial memory. The cover bridge is really nice.
