This is an annual ride for us. Often, if the weather is good, more than once a year.
Been coming out here since around 2005 or so. But didn't have a web site or a decent
camera back then. The Bluebird saloon [re]opened in ~ 2006. Before that, the town was
just a whistle stop. Had lunch in Goldendale back then.

2006.

Check the Bluebird Inn's
HOURS before heading out.
The Bluebird is the oldest operating tavern in the state.
This building was constructed by Jacob N Jensen for C.E. Flower and Doctor Hamilton
Blair for a drug store and dwelling in the spring of 1887. It became a saloon that
fall. In 1903 a Brunswick pool table was purchased that remains in the Bluebird
today. A barber shop was in the back of the tavern in the early years.
The east side of the building was added for living quarters in 1965. At about the
same time, the unspoken policy was broken when women were finally allowed and even
welcome to the tavern.
A brick hearth and chimney for wood heaat was added inside and a boardwalk on the
outside constructed in 1986. More changes were made in 1987 when a deck and a brick
barbeque were added to the west side. In 2004 a new front porch was constructed.
The wagon wheel rail was added in 2006 to separate the bar and pool table from the
restaurant side.
There have been many owners of the Bluebird and it has operated under several
different names. The Bickleton Club was used for twenty five years and was the
longest used name until the current name. The present name has been used since
the late 1970s.
Ready to head out. It's a little chilly but that will soon change.
80 degree days in April are rare around here.
