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:

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,
