The Riddle brothers first came to the Steens in 1900, they claimed about 1100 acres of land on both sides of a small river that runs through the valley. This was an open air museum. We were able to walk in all the buildings and explore as we wanted!
Top picture is the house: included a kitchen, living room and an upstairs area for sleeping.
Second picture, Monty looking out through the screen in their porch. Probably wondering why he couldn't come out of the house too!
Below: workshop/blacksmith area.
of course they had a toilet!
The barn.
Fun to see a bit of history in this desolate section of Oregon.
