If you think that this looks gross... try smelling it! Keep in mind that Hurricane Katrina hit about 5 months before we got to Biloxi... so this food has been sitting outside for quite a while. As soon as I took this picture, I got out of the vicinity of the stench as soon as I could.

American soldiers of “F” company, 145th Infantry in front of the Post office, Manila, Philippines, Feb. 1945 The 145th Infantry was the same organization my father was affiliated with as a Medic at the Battle of Balete Pass where General James Dalton was killed by a Japanese sniper during the Battle of Balete Pass on May 16, 1945
The area that became Mayes County is rich in history, containing the location of the first white settlement in what is now called Oklahoma. In 1796, Major Jean Pierre Chouteau, an Osage Indian trader and agent, established a trading post at the junction of the Grand/Neosho River and Saline Creek, at what is today called Salina. Flat boats plied their trade along the river and as early as 1817 keel boats from Ft. Smith (Arkansas) were known to travel up the river to the Chouteau Trading Post. The trading post flourished through the Osage occupation of the area, which ended with the formation of Indian Territory and this area was assigned to the Cherokee Nation. Christian missions were established here as early as 1820/1823.
But even before 1890 the nonIndian population, both legal and illegal, had grown to over 70 percent of the total population of Indian Territory. The first U.S. census of Indian Territory in 1900 shows a further influx of nonIndians had occurred between 1890 and 1900; most of the nonIndians being former residents of the adjacent states of Arkansas, Missouri, Texas and Kansas. Prior to the land allotment, the lands of the Five Civilized Tribes had been held in tribal ownership. No individual Indian owned any land, but were free to use as much as they needed if it did not infringe upon their neighbor's needs. However, they did own their improvements; the home, barn, the planted crops, cleared fields and such. While these improvements could be traded or sold, tribal law restricted the transaction to another citizen of the same tribe.
The land was distributed by allotment to citizens of these Nations on the basis of their enrollment on the 1902/1906 Dawes Roll. The average land allotment to each Cherokee "citizen by blood" was 110 acres of average grade land. Freedman (the former slaves of the Cherokees) were allotted 40 acres each of the Nation's land. But since the Indians had no concept of land ownership, in just a few short years most of the land was in the hands of non-Indians.
Mayes County was formed at statehood (1907) from parts of the Cherokee Nation, plus a small area of the Creek Nation of Indian Territory and was named in honor of Samuel Houston Mayes, who served his people and the Cherokee Nation as Principal Chief from 1895 to 1899.
In the beginning.... Indians called the locale around Pryor "Coo-Y-Yah" meaning place of the huckleberries. In commemoration, today, a street bears the name.
Nathaniel Pryor, great grandnephew of Pocahontas, and a scout with the Lewis and Clark Expedition, married an Osage Indian and set up a trading post near what is now the City of Pryor, Oklahoma.
Nathaniel Pryor's gravesite had been on private property five miles southeast of Pryor for many years but in 1982 the Mayes County Historical Society moved the grave to the Fairview Cemetery, east of Pryor.
The first United States Post Office opened in the Archer & Bryan Store, on the Texas Trail, July 15,1870. This was known as Pryor's Creek, with the possessive connotation. On November 27, 1878 a new post office by the name of Pryor Creek (the 'S had been dropped) was opened.
The MK&T (now Union Pacific) Railroad determined the final location of the City of Pryor Creek when it opened the depot in what was then Coo-Y-Yah. The post office officially dropped the word "Creek" from the name on January 26,1909 although all other legal records retain the word.
The first school was a subscription school organized in 1887 in a one-room building. By 1894 the school had enlarged to rooms, and in 1896, a large, two story, eight-room building was erected.
On June 28,1898, by Act of Congress, towns were given permission to incorporate under the laws of Arkansas, and to create public school systems. The first free public school system in the city opened October 2, 1902. An additional building was erected in 1915 which was used for the high school and the 1908 building was designated a grade school.
Oklahoma became the forty-sixth in the union a state in 1907, and boundaries were set that included Pryor Creek and the surrounding area. Today, the Arkansas border is roughly 39 miles from the community.
Oklahoma itself is named from two words in the Choctaw Indian language - "Okla" meaning people and "humma" meaning red, literally meaning red people. There are descendants of sixty-seven tribes living in the state.
The flags of Spain, France, Napoleon, Mexico, Texas, Confederate States and Great Britain flew over the area until replaced by the flag of the United States of America.
Pryor Creek was incorporated as a city under the laws of the State of Oklahoma. A city charter was adopted at a citywide vote on January 16, 1951. Governor Johnson Murray signed the charter for the State of Oklahoma on January 30, 1951.
In 1963 the voters of the community decided not to drop the word "Creek" from the city's name, as the feeling was one of historical significance. Therefore "Pryor Creek" remains the official name, although most residents and visitors know the community simply as Pryor.
Today the population of Mayes County is very diversified. Many descendants of those original Indian land owners still reside here, and are very proud of their Indian ancestry.
Mayes County is diversified as to its resources, as well. Originally cattle country and farming, the building of power dams on the Neosho/Grand River has brought both industry and recreation to the county. The many miles of shoreline has attracted sport fishermen from all over the United States. Of the four dams located in Mayes County, the Markham Ferry Dam contains the waters of Lake Hudson. This lake has over 200 miles of shoreline in Mayes County, while nearby "Grand Lake of the Cherokees" has over 1,600 miles of shoreline covering parts of four northeastern Oklahoma counties. The lakes are stocked regularly with hybrid stripers, and has a profusion of native fish: white and black bass, catfish, and crappie, to name only a few.
The abundance of labor, fresh water, power and a steam plant has attracted industry to The Mid America Industrial Park. This park contains 9,000 acres, and at this time has sixty plants and companies; employing over 3,800 people. The park is located between Pryor Creek ("Pryor") and Chouteau, on the east side of Highway 69, which is the main route between St Louis Missouri and Dallas, Texas.
Sunshine, clear blue water and friendly people await visitors in the Mayes County communities.
Attractions include the magnificent mile long Pensacola Dam which is the world's largest multiple arch dam.

This region has a rich cultural history. Until the 1830's this area was part of the hunting ground of the Osage Indian tribe. In 1796, Major Jean Pierre Chouteau opened a trading post near present day Salina, on the shores of Lake Hudson. The trading post encouraged fur trapping along the Grand River and its tributaries. This site significantly became the oldest white settlement in the state, and the Chouteau Museum commemorates this colorful history.
Near the town of Chouteau is Mazi which is near where the Union Mission was established in 1820. It was at this mission that the first school in the state was organized in 1821, the first printing press was located, and the first book published in Oklahoma was printed in 1835.

Restoration of a family photo of three Cameron sisters in Canada. This a rather mixed result of a simple AI recolouration.
Their Great Grandfather was Angus Cameron 6th of Kinlochleven who married Marjory MacBean, the eldest daughter of Capt Donald MacBean 15th Chief of MacBean/ Bain. Donald fought at Culloden, where his father Gillies 14th MacBean was famously killed.
Family tradition has it that Donald when caring for his father’s body, was offered a commission by Cumberland in recognition of his father’s huge courage and fighting prowess. This seems very unusual but not entirely unknown.
Capt Donald served largely in Canada, before retiring to Tearie near Nairn, Scotland. His wife Anne, a daughter of James Mackintosh of Woodend and Kyllachy, died very shortly after the birth of her second daughter who went on to marry Coll Macdonald 7th of Dalness/ Glen Etive.
The girls were brought up by Anne’s sister Elizabeth Macintosh married to James Campbell the factor to the Lethen Estates of the Brodie. He occupied the large farm at Fornightly.
Angus Cameron was related by his mother Una Macdonald to Cameron of Lochiel, Maj Gen Alex Macdonald of Invercoe, Col Ronald Macdonald, both the Macdonald men serving in Canada.
Both the Camerons of Kinlochleven and Ewan Cameron 17th of Lochiel were related to the precursor tribe of Macgillonies of Strone and Erracht and Invermaillie that gave structure and being to the MacBeans, who became close kin to the Mackintosh of Mackintosh over many generations.
Una Macdonald's grandfather was MacIan, killed in the Glencoe Massacre. Her mother was a Campbell of Balcardine.
These children don’t know, cant possibly know, just how well connected they are into some of the most important roots of Scottish Clan history.

A length of old bullhead rail has been used as a post. Perhaps it once carried a notice warning people to beware of the trains as there used to be an accommodation crossing here before the bridge was built.
I've traveled to the Big Sur coast for years and have always thought staying at the Post Ranch Inn would be the height of my traveling experience. However with the minimum room rate at $550 and the ocean room views at $1,000-$2,000 per night, this thought has just remained in my imagination.
On my last visit though, I did stop for lunch and spent an hour or so walking around the grounds and can understand why people go there. Besides the absolute beauty of the setting, the architecture is stunning in how it unobtrusively blends into the landscape. Many of the cottages are built into the cliffs and covered with natural grasses on their roofs so that you are hardly aware of their presence.

The Hundred of Caltowie was declared in 1871 and open for farming settlement and the town of Caltowie surveyed in 1871 making it the oldest town after Melrose on this Willochra Plains weekend tour. The railway from Port Pirie/Gladstone was extended to Jamestown in 1878 and Caltowie had a railway siding from then. As the nearest railhead for the areas to the north which were opened up from 1871/1872 the town’s prospects were good, but they failed to materialise. But because of the wheat trade a flourmill was erected in Caltowie in 1881. Tenders for its construction were called in 1880and by 1881 the flourmill was available for rent in 1881. No takers came forward and so after a public meeting in the Caltowie Institute the Caltowie Steam Flourmill Company was formed. Many local farmers bought shares for £5 each. The flourmill had a rail siding and so was expected to do well. The Company renewed the lease in 1884 but profits did not materialise and it was put up for sale in 1892 and 1893. The mill was eventually sold to James Both in 1894 and shareholders received about 10 shillings a share, having to pocket a £4.50 loss per share. James Both ran the mill well into the 1920s. Both called it the Roller Flour Mills. The mill was struck by lightning in 1927 but suffered little damage. James Both's son Edward Both invented a cheap plywood iron lung at the height of the polio epidemic in Australia in 1938. It sold for £100 unlike the metal American respirator which cost £2000 in Australia. Both's iron lung was sold in England, Australia and eventually America. Edward Both was a professor of Physics at the University of Adelaide. He also did work on electrocardiograms and humidicribs for premature babies. The flourmill is now all demolished except for one office building.
The extant significant buildings in Caltowie are the Commercial Hotel. The Commercial Hotel was first licensed in March 1873 and built about that time. Today’s Commercial Hotel building looks to date from around 1900 as it is very Edwardian. The original 1873 hotel would have been a small basic structure. The town had a government school from 1876 with a dedicated schoolroom being built in 1880. It is now a shabby residence. The first church in the district was the Wesleyan Methodist which opened early in 1873. Three years later in 1876 it was sold to the Lutherans. It housed the first government school in Caltowie from 1876 until a government school was built in 1880. The porch was added in 1960 and the last service was held in 1981 before the building was sold for a home. The Caltowie Soldiers Memorial Hall dated 1926 was opened around 1880. The Soldiers Memorial rooms were added to the front of that old building. Architecturally the most impressive building is the former National Australasian Bank built in 1876 by city architect Daniel Garlick. It became a Bank of Adelaide by 1909 and is now a beautiful residence. Beyond the encircling parklands is the Catholic Church sector. The original rustic St Killian’s Catholic Church was built here by the Jesuits of Seven Hills in 1875. A second church was opened in 1885 replacing this early one. It was demolished in 1982 and the stained glass windows were purchased by the Robin Hood Hotel at Norwood. The Sisters of St Joseph ran their convent school in the original Catholic Church (1875) from 1887 until 1962. Before that time they ran the school in other buildings from 1876 to 1887. Part of the Convent School still remains as a private residence. So until the 1960s Caltowie had enough students for a small state and a Catholic school.

From the Liverpool Daily Post (a sadly missed quality regional newspaper) , Dated Monday 19th September 2005, an article reporting on the previous Saturdays trip from Liverpool to York, which featured 71000 ‘ Duke of Gloucester' only between Liverpool and Stalybridge, being failed on arrival there due to a faulty valve. From here 66081 took the train to York, but to quote later from the piece (which wouldn’t fit on the scanner) –
“A preserved veteran diesel locomotive Class 40,No.40165 (that’s what was printed!) was obtained to return the special train from York. By lucky chance, the locomotive was built at the Vulcan Foundry, Newton le Willows in 1960. Prof Toyne, a dedicated rail enthusiast said – Triumph was snatched from the jaws of defeat. We left Liverpool hauled by the ultimate British steam locomotive and returned pulled by one of the first diesels to replace steam. Nothing could have been more symbolically appropriate”.
Managed to get to York for the return, probably the last time various cranks have dropped what they were doing at short notice to chase some unplanned 40 mileage.
