Wagon Road to Jo-See? to Cut Travel Time, $1000 Raised
A community effort has raised over $1000 to build a shorter wagon road from Fruita to Joseph, Oregon, via the Sheep Creek Divide summit. The route would bypass the long eastward path to Joseph, offering a direct line from Fruita northward then southwest toward Joseph, with better access for fruit country and orchard areas. Local residents expect the change to improve trade, travel, and access to Walla Walla and nearby farms. The Washington & Columbia River excursion train plans a special day for visitors to view blooming orchards and fruit crops valued at nearly one million dollars annually.
