The tracking maps for Ivan Stoltzfus and his Across America effort seem to be showing him inside the building at a John Deere dealership in Ontario, Oregon. Just wondering if someone might know, is he having work done on the tractor, just curious.

If not mentioned before, Lawn & Garden TRACTOR magazine has a nice article and pictures in their July-August issue. Here in Ohio that magazine can be found at Tractor Supply Co. newsstand.

His rig is shown inside a shop in Vale, Oregon which might be a suburb of Ontario, Oregon. There are no JD tractors or equipment anywhere around this shop so not sure it is a tractor dealership. Have no way of knowing if he has had a breakdown or if routine maintenance is being done. He had the lug bolts re-tightened on the rears after navigating the Rockies in Idaho. Tractor has 2900 miles on it could be a routine oil change was needed. He has replaced at least one camper tire. Maybe need more replaced. They are projecting a possible arrival on the West Coast of California on August 9 if nothing goes wrong.

He has moved from that area now, but, when I looked at the tracking map, I could see the names of the streets going by that building on both the east side and south side, it was on the north west corner of that intersection.

I then went to Google Maps and found that exact same intersection, then went to Street View.

That street view shows several tractors, lawn tractors and appears to be haying equipment.

Do I have the right building, my screen showed 1779-1785 Olds Ferry-Ontario Hwy.

It appears he has moved away from there but is stationary now.

I was curious if there was someone on here who might be in that area.

I am fascinated by all of his efforts, and wish that there was a way of getting more information on what is happening with him on a daily basis.

I was the one who posted a link to several hundred pictures I took of him when he was in this area.

I talked to him when he was in the Quad Cities area and suggested someone post updates several times a day or so, to a blog or a web site or an email group or something, but, it never happened.

He's about got this licked, I wish him well.

His locator tracker shows him at 559 10th St N. in Vale, OR at 4:30 PM. He appears to be in a campground settled in for the evening. This is 12 mile or so west of Ontario. Vale is a stop on the Oregon Trail. All this morning his rig was in a shop building 1 block south west of his current location. (on John Day Highway).He had reported more trouble with his carburetor over on his blogs,but am not privey to any more info than what is on the blog.
