OK learned about a ghost town near Condon OR. and was invited to hunt it. I was told by a relative by marriage his family helped start the town when they came over on the Oregon trail. From what he says its not vandalized like so many are and is on private property. The name of the town was Papersack and still has the wood sidewalks.The best thing is he has a key to the gate and we can drive right to it :o I guess i will have to learn him about MDs because he is ready to go......aa

lol would be interesting to find that one out! Perhaps that is where they all stopped to have a papersack lunch? Might have to research that one a bit and find out....maybe the person you are hunting with has some leads to find out?
