Skid row left behind
With skid row behind them
Cliff Pulley and Edward Copple
are on their way to a new life in
Baker, Oregon. "We want a
different way of life,"explained
Copple.
People on skid row in Portland
are waiting for someone to get
them out of there," Copple conti
nued. The only way to get out
"is to do it yourself."
Life in skid row for Pulley,
Copple and hundreds of other
homeless people involved walking
the streets and sleeping in alleys.
Food was provided at various
mission houses and had no nutri
tional value, says Copple. "That's
why everyone is always sleeping.
There's no energy to do anything
else.".
Leaving skid row was only a
matter of deciding to do so.
Pulley, who has bronchitis, could
not carry anything on his back
so a cart provided a means of
carrying his few belongings. He
once pushed a cart from Santa
Barbara to Portland and made
several other trips this same
way, so pushing a cart was not
new to him.
Money to buy the. plywood
and hardware necessary to build
the cart was not easy to come
by. Pully sold plasma to purchase
the needed items. Upon comple
tion they set out for Baker where
a friend of Pulley's lives. They
are hoping to find work and
maybe "look for gold." adds
Pulley.
Copple, who had never traveled
this way before said he would
be willing to accept a ride. In
the hundred miles already tra
veled no rides had been offered.
People did stop to give the men
pastries and fruit which they
said was appreciated. Along the
way they picked up cans, collect
ing 200 by the time they reached
He-He. There was no room on
the cart for more.
At times the going has proved
to be slow. Some days they
would travel 18 miles, some
only two miles. Abandoned
houses and shacks along the
road provided shelter. Sometimes
the luxury of shelter was not
available and chilly nights were
spent sleeping under the stars or
rain clouds.
Copple says he has learned to
appreciate the beauty of the
desert country as he slowly makes
his way towards Baker. Although
most of his life was spent in
Portland he expresses no regret
in leaving. Both Pulley and Copple
arc anxious to arrive in Baker
and "a different way of life."
