Nomenclature

I have discovered that there is a road somewhere in Oregon called Dead Indian Road. It wouldn't be hard to guess where that name came from.

I have also discovered that there is a town in Oregon called Boring. I believe I shall have to visit it to see if I can determine the origins of its name. If it turns out to be particularly mind-numbing, I'll just wander over to the town of Happy Valley for a while.
