Jewitt Road, Franklin County Route 19

I discovered Jewitt Road because it looked like a quick way to get where I was going. But I saw immediately that it was a scenic gem, and I had my camera with me, so:

A collection of barns and outbuildings within a board fence. It looked to me like it could have been set in Wyoming or Eastern Oregon:

The Lucky 711 Tack Shop (horse supplies) had two elaborate pieces of what I assumed to be chainsaw art - the horse head near the sign, and the man shoeing the horse at the right edge of the photo:

A large sawmill operation with a complex of buildings:

A family farm with lots of buildings:

Another family farm, a page out of history:
