A Week in Wheeler County

 #160; 

For a week last June, we visited Wheeler County in eastern Oregon. While we were there, we met the men behind Painted Hills Natural Beef, talked to the mayor/pastor/barber in the tiny town of Mitchell, and learned about the company town of Kinzua. We listen back to some of our favorite moments from our week in Wheeler County.
