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 Picture Of Ellensburg
Why a picture of Ellensburg? Because today marks twin anniversaries, first the Port of Kahlotus which serves the people of Kahlotus all 250 of them and the farmers surrounding the town. I drove through Kahlotus once, it was like so many towns in Eastern Washington with a few streets, trees and a grain elevator nestled to hills of sage and scrub. The second anniversary is that of the death of Ted Bundy, Ted was a killer. I remember most of my later years of grade school watching highlights of Bundy's trial in Florida on the news. So why then a picture of Ellensburg, well one of Bundy's victims disappeared on the campus of Central Washington University and I once knew a girl in Ellensburg that was from Kahlotus. So that's why this photo of Wippel's gas station, back in the D&M days.
