When you're needing to stay in Oregon's smallest county for a night, you take what you can get. This was just about that, and that's fine. The hotel is obviously very old, which can be part of the charm, and the website is quite clear about what you're getting and what you aren't. Not every room has a bathroom, but we paid for one that did. I didn't see that it said it was just a bathtub without a shower, but I don't think that would have changed our plans. Being in Mitchell for a night was a definite culture shock, intensified by the pandemic. As far as I know, Wheeler still has zero cases, and (of course) is quite conservative (fourth most conservative in Oregon based on the 2016 results). We were told that we could take off our masks, but not pushed to do so (as we were at another business in town). Something along the lines of "we're in the dirt all day, so we aren't getting coronavirus" was said, which is very sadly uninformed. I actually find it hard to live in Portland due to how liberal it is, but I do realize I fit better there ideologically than in deep-Eastern Oregon. That said, as long as a business doesn't get political, I can certainly handle differing approaches to life. Being someone that is almost certain he already had coronavirus, and thinking we should just go on with our lives without this overreaction, I can handle "being put in danger" (which I don't think I am by someone not wearing a mask that I interact with for a couple minutes). However, I am going to follow the law (yes, it is a legally enforceable order) and wear mine, and I don't see the point in making me feel bad about that. I just wish businesses would try to stay on the sane side of that line. If you are someone that is worried about coronavirus, you probably aren't traveling to Mitchell, but if you are you probably don't want to stay here or spend too much time in town. Also, I expect to see news about a new breakout in this tourist town soon. Back to the hotel. It was clean, it was creaky, it was creepy at times, the internet was garbage, but it was fine. I don't expect to stay here again, but I don't regret that we did.…
