Nice Illustration!

Bo, Center, from Croatia, got lost in the middle of Oregon and has been cooking for truckers ever since.

The tiny town of Durkee Oregon can’t have more than 50 residents, but it’s got the “Redneck Cafe”, owned by a Croatian dude who was sitting at the counter the entire time. We got our 30-mile morning coffee there. The guy, “Bo”, his two regulars, and his waitress talked us up for 45 minutes. How does a Croatian guy end up running a greasy-spoon trucker joint in a tiny town between two 10,000 person towns? We…we’re really not sure. He claims he got lost, and just stayed. We wished we were hungrier. 

 

this dog, sissie, was HUGE! she sat in the bag of the truck.. the truck owned by the folks inside the redneck cafe. They passed us several times on the road.

Durke maybe has 50 people living in it.. maybe. One thing that every town of every size has, is a post office. and this was the one at durkee. so small, so awesome. i put some postcards in thier mailbox so they would have something to do on monday.. hopefully the mail actually goes out there..
