I’ve been through the town of Pomeroy, WA, a couple of times. The first, in 2010, was during my last Cycle Oregon, which I had to DNF shortly thereafter because I’d acquired Achilles tendonosis. That was extra unfortunate because I was over 40, and it took a long time to heal. However before then I enjoying the undulating landscape of the Palouse, occasionally stopping for geocaches.
One that I remember the most was GCGQDD, Combine Art, with a giant, red, metallic T-Rex. Rawrrrr!
I was visiting the Pendleton area again in May 2017, and decided to take the circuitous loop around to visit the area again. T-Rex is now faded green! But to be fair, I had far less hair, too.
I happened to be back here in mid-2017 and revisited. Nearby was GC1P4AP, In Loving Memory of Jay – now archived. This was adjacent to a school and was trying to emphasize to the impressionable youth that using the crosswalk would likely be safer for them. (This is not the dense urban cities of the East Coast, where jaywalking done correctly is safe.)
