Looks like this couple decided to take their ironing board on vacation. So far, they made it a little over 75 miles from Portland. I'm guessing this looked like the perfect spot for a rest stop, alongside state Highway 18 at Grand Ronde. Be sure to notice that part of an iron bedstead behind them. I couldn't resist this as today's photo--I'll get back into the metropolitan area tomorrow.
P.S. Go to Mama and Me from PDX for lots more about the Helvetia Tavern. Thanks.
