The Outpost, Shaniko Gas Station

The owner was extremely nice, invited me in for coffee and a sit with the fire to warm up as my truck fueled. We had a nice chat, it's good to see business there. Also, gas station goats! I had not seen those since South America. Yes fuel is expensive, but it has to be shipped in from over 100miles away. And the only fuel station 50 miles any direction. I'll stop by and top off anytime I'm in the area.

The best people. Stopped by while bikepacking the Oregon Outback Trail and they were very hospitable/knowledgeable about Shaniko and the surrounding area. Make sure to say hello to Amy the goat

Highway robbery. That's really the only term for it. The average gas price for the entire state of Oregon is 2.56 right now and I just paid 4.85 at the Shaniko gas station. These people take advantage of desperate travelers by charging ridiculously unreasonable prices on gas that you're forced to buy unless you want to run empty. It's not right at all. If I could pick a town to burn down it would probably be this one.

Very nice man who let us have some of the water for my dogs. Self serve gas pumps are fully operational, bathrooms were open when we stopped by (public bathrooms available half a minutes drive away). Very nice little outpost, exactly what you need if in a bind for gas.

Whoever owns the place is extremely nice
