I am giving this review a 3 star only because the man and lady I talked to were nice and friendly…read more I would otherwise give it a two-star review. The lady seemed genuine and was very nice on the phone as well as in person. I called and stopped by Dale Store to arrange a raft shuttle for the NF John Day in May. The man, while mostly friendly, did not want to get my truck key out of or put my truck key back in its lock box, which can be accessed by partially kneeling near the bumper. Absolutely NO stooping or crawling is necessary to access this lockbox, a relatively secure way to leave a key for the shuttle driver. I had to argue and bargain with the man to use my lockbox at all, even though I'd just paid him a nice chunk of change for the shuttle service. When I got to the NF John Day raft take out on a 95 degree day, my truck was waiting in the sun, but the driver had cast the sunshade onto the passenger floor and hadn't bothered to replace it in the windshield. The truck was very hot inside. I had also put a towel down on the driver's seat for any driver to sit on. The driver had moved the towel aside so he wouldn't have to sit on it. A trip mate also used Dale store as a shuttle service. Dale Store shuttle personnel had left his cab light on so my mate's battery was dead when we arrived at the take out. We spent 20 minutes getting his vehicle started. I appreciate that this shuttle service is even available, so far out in Timbuktu. However, I will trial another shuttle service next time.

You're tooling along Highway 395, the Ukiah-Dale Forest State Scenic Corridor in Grant County,…read moreEastern Oregon, because, Hey! You like off the beaten path adventures and you are a Road Warrior. Only, you are a Road Warrior who really has to pee AND who has noticed that one of your tires needs air (this last part is crucial because otherwise you'd just pull over and do your business in the trees like the beast you are when in Road Warrior mode. Rowwr!!). Anyway, the Goddesses of the Highway have anticipated your needs because there, sitting serenely along the side of the road, is The Dale Service Station -and Post Office-and Grocery-and coffee shop-and unofficial Ranger Station-and Community Center-and really, everything else. Because this is unincorporated Dale, Oregon, population unknown (somewhere between 1-15), and this is where things are happening. First established in 1887, it was named Dorman, after James W. Dorman, the first postmaster and a hearty soul. The name was changed to Dale in 1891 and no one knows why. I mean, literally, no one knows why. The place does not fit the geographic definition of a dale ("a valley, especially a broad one") and there's no mention of a historically significant Dale in the historical records. So...Dale it is. Today, "Butch" owns and runs the joint. He, also, is a hearty soul. And a friendly one. And if you wanna chew the fat awhile after you've taken care of business, Butch is happy to oblige. He's got the beautiful, historical post office boxes still in operation. He's amassed quite a personal collection of once living, once vital, now dead animals, many of which he, himself killed and had mounted. He's got the sundries and the staples which folks who live out in these parts might need in a pinch. He's got serviceable sandwiches (pre-packaged) and country coffee. And importantly, he knows what's going on in his community. Don't be afraid to ask. For example, Butch and I discussed emergency services and the State government's "failure to take care of real Oregonians" (his words) while I made sure to avoid discussing 45 and our current federal regime. We found common ground elsewhere and truly had an enjoyable conversation. Make sure not to whizz on by when you pass this way. You'll miss out on a genuine experience.

Disconnected the one tank and drove over from the RV park that we were staying at. Pulled up to the refill station and called from the intercom located nearby at the dump station. An attendant came out shortly and refilled my tank. Gave me a ticket to take to the cashier in the store to pay for the fuel. I recommend Arrowhead Travel Plaza for your propane needs. They came through for us and we had heat for a cold night in the thirties. Price for the propane was very reasonable too.

This market is the main cafe, convenience store and gas station in a small rural town with a population of just over 150 residents. Service was friendly and prompt. Coffee was hot. I stopped in one morning to have breakfast. I ordered their Denver Omelet which is a three egg omelet filled with diced tomatoes, green peppers, onion and chunks of ham for $11.70. I added cheese for an additional 60 cents. It comes with hash browns and your choice of toast. Quite a hearty breakfast and very reasonably priced! I enjoyed the omelet so much that I went back the next day and ordered the same thing. There were 4 or 5 different folks working in the cafe / store when I was there. They seemed to share different roles from waiting, cashier, pumping gas and minding the store. The store itself carries a variety of essentials, frozen meats & seafoods, beverages and snack items, typical for many other convenience stores. Should I visit the area again in the future, I would definitely stop in for breakfast.

She does take a couple days off so there are others that work as well when it is busy, and when she can find the help. The food is good and she gladly made me a custom sandwich one morning. I know she is interested in retiring so that could happen and they could close. I will post pictures of inside and outside soon.

The address is 275 Campbell St. is conveniently located right next to a Grocery Outlet. I have stopped here before, but it's been a number of years. I stopped to gas up on 9/13/23 and use the bathroom. I was very impressed that they had clean, soapy water for customers to clean their windshields with. I could tell immediately that the gas station had been remodeled since my last visit. The bathrooms were sparkling, clean, and beautifully designed. This gas station also has a fantastic variety of snacks, some of which I've never seen any place else before. In addition, they have Champs Fried Chicken and Cascade Glacier ice cream. I don't really care for jellybeans, but I couldn't resist buying a bag of Bean Boozled jellybeans, which come in disgusting flavors like Dead Fish, Barf, Livers & Onions, and Rotten Eggs. I haven't had the nerve to try them yet. Highly Recommended!!!

Oddly enough, not only did this little used CC get charged for the gas but an additional $1,500.00 in women's clothing and shoes were also purchased online within mere days of us stopping there. I cannot prove that the theft of my CC information was from this transaction but considering the level of security I use otherwise, this was the only time my card has ever been out of my sight. I don't use this particular CC for any other risky transactions. If I could prove it, I'd be calling the cops.
