Introspection from Hoenix in Maytown
- I exited I-5 southbound to the Maytown Rest Srea on the way to Paradise Point State Park, where James is waiting. At that moment I was listening to Introspection from Hoenix (who I believe used a different name when I first encountered their music). The rest stop is busy with lots of parked cars and numerous people walking around to stretch. The day is sunny and clear. The collective experience of Introspection now includes this moment.
- Frankfort, Washington (Wikipedia)
Frankfort is a ghost town in Pacific County, Washington on the mouth of the Columbia River near Portuguese Point. First homesteaded in 1876, a planned community was platted by two promoters, Frank Bourne and Frank Scott (whence the name) in 1890. Together they envisioned a resort community at the location. As there were no roads, and access to the area was only by boat, lots were sold on the premise that the railroad would eventually build a line through the community. A post office, general store, saloon, sawmill and a hotel were built and a newspaper, the Frankfort Chronicle, was established. The financial Panic of 1893 deterred any future investors, and the town took a downhill turn.
