The town of Hay, Wash., is easy to miss on a road map. It's a dot connected by a thin ribbon – a two-lane road – to State Route 26. That dot is paradise to Larry and Bev Dodge who have lived in Hay, located in the Palouse wheat lands, for more than 40 years. They own a home with a farm windmill in the back. They step out the front door and are serenaded by crickets. Real estate is cheap. They bought the defunct Baptist church next door for $100. Religious services are no longer held but Larry keeps the doors open so the town's other nine residents can use it for special events. I met Larry (below) during a brief stop in 2015. Gave me a tour of the church. Talked about the town's landmarks, which include an abandoned train depot (above) on the hill opposite the church. Trains stopped here once a week until the rails were pulled in the 1980s. I like the old gas station. Two rusty pumps choked by weeds are intact.
