Dusty Moments, America's Finest Blog, is dedicated to photography and the American way of life. With each old snap shot or Kodachrome slide, a bit of the psyche of the person behind the camera is revealed, while simultaneously creating mysteries as to the true nature of the subject's story. The words within this blog are my own. Many of the photographs are mine too, but included also are the dusty moments from my parents and grandparents, as well as, junk store finds.

A Birthday
Happy Birthday to Okanogan which turns 105 today. Okanogan should not be confused with the other towns named Okanogan that did not vote to incorporate on this day in 1907. Those towns have either ceased to exist or changed their names. Of Okanogan's 318 residents 75 of them voted in the 1907 election, with the yeas carrying the day 74 to 1. By 1914 Okanogan had wrestled the county seat from Conconully. Tonight's photo is of the Okangan County Courthouse.
