By Chris Collins ccollins@bakercityherald.com Brandon Taylor / Baker City Herald Classic cars cruise Main Street in front of the Geiser Grand Hotel Saturday night. FIRE Continued from Page 1A CLASSIC Continued from Page 1A Robbel has driven the car 23,000 miles across the coun- try, participating in shows. “The DeSotos were ahead of their time with the design,” he said. After the show, Robbel attended the Durkee Steak feed at the Quail Ridge Golf Course. The menu for the event, which moved from Durkee to Baker City many years ago, included a steak, potatoes, vegetables and pan fried bread. Like the cars, the bread is another anach- ronism. According to rancher Dick Kirby, it’s how the cow- boys used to make bread. The recipe for the bread is a Kirby family secret, but what to do with the mix is not. Water is added to the mix and the dough is kneaded until it reaches an Brandon Taylor / Baker City Herald Dave Hunsaker, 73, of Baker City, left, chats with Russell Jones, 74, of Vancouver, Washington, about Hunsaker’s 1960 Triumph TR3. appropriate consistency and then placed into a skillet. What’s important is to put a hole in the middle of the dough. “The hole let’s the bad gasses out,” Kirby said, and keeps the bread from rising. At the steak feed, the skil- lets were placed on railroad tracks that stretched over a fi re-fi lled trench. Once the boot of the bread was cooked, the skillets were placed into the fi re until the bread was done. As the sun set, the drivers of the cars participated in a cruise through downtown Baker City. “We used to call it cruising the gut,” Dave Hunsaker, 73, of Baker City said. He and his wife, Joyce, 66, toured up and down Main Street in their red 1960 Triumph TR3. When Dave was going to college at San Diego State University in 1960s he had a 1960 Triumph TR3. When his son was born he traded it in for a Datsun station wagon. Saturday night, “he cruised the gut,” just like he used to when he was a teenager growing up on Coronado Island just off the coast of California. The fire spawned two towering smoke plumes, visible throughout North- eastern Oregon, on Tuesday when it burned into thick- ets in the Wild Sheep Creek drainage. But rain on Wednesday night slowed the fire. The fire’s perimeter is about 4,734 acres, but inside that area the flames have stayed on the ground, rather than burning into the crowns of trees, over much of the acreage, Forest Service officials said. “You couldn’t plan a bet- ter burn in mid-elevation mixed conifer,” said Nathan Goodrich, fire management officer for the Eagle Cap Ranger District. “Every- thing’s cleaning up really nicely with very low levels of mortality in the over- story.” Allowing lightning fires to perform their natural role in the Eagle Cap Wil- derness, Oregon’s largest at 365,000 acres, is the goal of a Forest Service policy in place for more than 25 years. That policy allows the agency to use a variety of tactics to manage lightning fires, rather than trying to put them out as quickly as possible. In the case of the Granite Gulch fire, officials have called in helicopters on sev- eral days to drop water on parts of the fire to slow its spread, mainly to the west. THEFT center.
