I am sick of 40+ years of living in the dark rainy timber ghost towns of the wet side (swisshome, deadwood, blachly) i am ready to see that thing called “sun”, give me sky! yes i am an “eccentric folk artist” in search of a dry sunny wild place far away from normal people…… will trade 5 acres and a funky cottage on the Siuslaw river for a lonely eastern oregon rancho with an unobstructed view of the southern sky and absolute silence.

If not its stupid.

Kent was such a fun place to visit. As a little girl visiting my grandpa, my brother and I had so much fun there. It’s such a small place that we could explore the whole territory. Grandpa loved making his windmills, and little odds and ends. He loved when strangers stoped by to visit. I will always hold a special place in my heart for Kent and it’s residence. I have the fondest memories of Leo Decker’s little tree acres!! Miss you and love you gramps!

Two of which are now under water- a bit like the lost city of atlanta… the other 5 were claimed by the army in one of the world wars and people were moved from them towns… nobody ever returned there.
