Sorry, as a former resident of Goble, I can't let you mispell it as Gobble. But you can go to the Goble Tavern and purchase a bumper sticker that says "Where in the hell is Goble Oregon?"

Very very interesting name, but I thought ****ing has been around much more than 800 years!

Random thought: is the population of Blue Ball declining?

If you haven't already, read "Blue Highways : A Journey into America" by William Least Heatmoon.

Great book and on his journey across America he seeks out and visits many towns with strange sounding names.
