Where the Heck is Buncom?

'It's known as Old Buncom Corner
A place where you've got to slow down;
A spot on the map where the mem'ries
Wander all over downtown.
Some say it's just some old buildings
That should be politely destroyed,
To make way for more solid structures
That are more cost-effective employed...'
By Scotty Gray

The three buildings at Buncom are all that remains of a once thriving gold mining camp. When gold was discovered on Sterling Creek in 1854, thousands of miners flocked there from the gold fields of California and other Oregon locations. Many of them made their fortunes; many didn't.





Marlene & Steve at the Post Office. circa 1910 (The post office-not M & S). We stopped for a break during a nice 30+ mile bike ride with 2,500+ elevation gain.


note: Cycle Oregon went through Buncom in 2004.


SUDOKU. Whatever it is, it kept Marlene occupied during down time.

We always make sure our new guests can find the house.

Tile work in the master. A slow process.

The Limo Man is off in search of granite. He'll be back next week.
