Saturday Sept 22 On The Road Again


Well we head out of Spokane/East Idaho area and head east and Stop in Kellog Idaho to site see at the old Lead, Zinc & Silver this museum was in the Former Bunker Hill Staff House huge house to much for me to want to clean ( I really mean that). The museum was of course rooms set up with displays, a Gift Shop, the Old Kitchen Items, Special Art Exdhibit, School, Metallurgy, Prospectors, Equipment, Textiles, Medical Equipment, Press, Memorial room for the staff that tried to save the workers when the miners got trapped. There was pictures of the Labor workers meeting with union members about labor issues and safety before the blew up Bunker Hill.

We thought it would be fun to go on the Gondola ride it looked like a beautiful ride but when we went to purchase tickets it was closed tell ski season. So much for that we ate lunch and moved on. Boy was Ark and Saw happy that they got to go also and I have been forgetting to mention Bob and Corky's kid is Frosty (their cat) she was happy to be on the road and not locked in the RV.

We headed on to Wallace Idaho and stopped there to visit the Northern Pacific Depot Railroad Museum. When we arrived there we were told there was trolly rides up to a mine so we decided to do that before we toured the museum. So we walked several blocks to get the tickets and guess what we were 10 minutes late for the last trolly. We now decide guess we are not to be going on any rides.

So we travel on to Missoula to park for the night. The guys just got us set up and it started raining and was very chilly.

Sorry this posting is so late but we also did not have phone service in this area we are really roughing it.

All in all we had fun. From Barb and the gang.
