From Baker City — a nice plastic Elks Lodge sign. These are rarer than the neon variety:

Some more signs from Baker City:

The bottom panels of this Coca-Cola sign are gone and those little plastic diamonds are starting to fall down inside:

A better example of those plastic diamonds — my photo from Livingston, Montana:

An Elks Lodge sign from John Day, OR:

The Central Hotel in Burns:

One more shot for this post — the Ross Ragland Theatre in Klamath Falls which was the final stop for the day:

Two more posts to go from this trip — coming up in a few hours,
