Sunday was a stay put and relax day, although after a heavy overnight dew Judy just had to clean & wipe off the trailer. Today we went for a ride to Vineta for lunch. They have a well known restaurant on old route 66, Clantons, that has been written up in several food magazines and on TV food programs for their chicken fried steaks. I rate it so so and Judy's chicken fried chicken was much better. After lunch we went to Welch and waited for over 1/2 hour for a train stopped on the tracks in the small village. At least I got a cat nap in! We finally went up tracks and crossed the tracks to continue our cemetery hunt. We read that the Barker family was buried a few miles outside town off a dirt road in the Williams Cemetery. We have some interesting info sources for off the wall places. You youngsters don't know Ma Barker and her boys, they were bank robbers and kidnappers in the 1930s. Ma and one of her boys, Freddie, were in a shoot out in 1937 with some of J Edgar Hoover's G men, Ma & Freddie lost the gun fight and ended up here. Here's more info on Ma...http://www.trivia-library.com/c/biography-of-gangsters-arizona-clark-ma-barker.htm Hello Jean!!!! Hi BJ!!!!!
