Travel: Along North Umpqua Scenic Highway, 2 of 2
2023-10-24 - Southern Oregon - Photo by Robert Ellis, Robert Ellis Woodworking
Robert writes, "With the Falls behind us, and continuing on towards the Oregon coast, we stopped along this river drive to take some more pics. We were fortunate to be at the right place, at the right time as the Sun was starting to blaze through the fog and light rain, revealing these beautiful rock formations."

2023-10-24 - Columbia, KY - Photo from Harper Family Collection
A scrapbook display from the Harper Family includes photos of Mrs. Dowell, Mrs. Doris Johnson, and another cook at the Circle R Restaurant. You can see the display now at the Trabue Russell House. It provides a unique look back at a Columbia institution, still missed by many. Mrs. Johnson's son, Robert, says, "My mother worked at the restaurant for many years as a cook, and I would like to think that she played a small role in the near legendary status of the great food and service that could be enjoyed at the Circle R."

I've been keeping up on the Columbia Magazine articles. My side of the Collins family were longtime residents of Adair County and Glensville/Glensfork since the early 1800s. Many are at rest in Grant cemetery and Ragan cemetery.
Thanks, Lonnie Collins, Milan Michigan Comments | Permalink Older Photos
