According to Wikipedia ...
"Memaloose Airport (FAA LID: 25U), is a public airport located 10 miles (16 km) southeast of Imnaha in Wallowa County, Oregon, USA."
What is left out of this description is that ... it's in the middle of nowhere!
I know I've posted this sign before ...
But I just have to revisit one of my favorite signs of all time!
This picture was taken back in the early 1980s by my (ex) husband while taking a sight-seeing trip through Eastern Oregon with my fabulous B-I-L Alan.

One of your larger metropolitan air facilities out here in the wild wild west huh ;>) (I'm in Oregon for the summer, so I'm allowed to be silly about it!)
ReplyDeleteThat one is worth a repeat!
ReplyDeletei was looking for the runway!:p
ReplyDeleteresidents probably forget this is an airport.

There is an airport like that here in Cambodia. Tucked in the middle of nowhere. It was one interesting plane ride, I kid you not.

So fascinating! I have not seen such a sign before! I just wonder why anyone would be driving across a grassy area like that!
ReplyDeleteThat is a classic sign, I've never seen one like it!
ReplyDeletehmmm...makes one wonder indeed. Please have a good Friday.

Me again, was just wondering whether I could 'borrow' the You Laugh image, as it made a really impression on me.
ReplyDeleteit still makes me laugh!
ReplyDeleteYou can see some strange things out in the middle of nowhere!
ReplyDeleteRe the chicken head pecking at the heart - now that you point it out, I see a cartoon rabbit carrying a heart...
a friend tells a story of how, in the middle of the night, she got lost and wound up on the runway of a tiny airport
ReplyDeleteI guess it happens
great post
Great sign. I once flew my plane into a small grass strip in MN only to find three small boys riding bicycles up the middle. I had to go around, and by the time I had lined up again, they were gone. Bet I startled them.
ReplyDeleteAnd who is that good looking fellow with the orange shirt?! LOL He was SO young back then. He's still cute, though. (grin) Nice pics!
