More Things Around Hope, ID
Ron took Tom out for a day of site seeing in the area. We checked out the Cabinet Gorge Dam and found a group of old cars along the side of the road, so snapped a few pix. There was an free running spring on the side of the road. Folks come with truck and trailers and fill with this great tasting water (we got a little bit). One old man told us that he'd been coming there for 60 years. Then Ron took me into an area called "Beyond Hope" where there were lots of multi-million dollar homes and property. There, we saw, lots of deer and turkeys (check out the one pic where the deer is looking at us in the car - look up in the background and see about 20 deer and 10 wild turkeys!). Also lots of "yard art". One thing that really stuck out was a German guy's compound. No one really knows what the guy does but his property is secure and he has several mailboxes with various departments written on them. Hmmmm. Anyway, the piece of stone you see is a chunk out of the Berlin wall! Wow. Interesting. Ron also took me to a bar called Toby's Tavern in Noxon, ID. This place has the bar inlaid with Susan B. Anthony silver dollars, also all kinds of junk on the walls and tables. Unfortunately, it was closed on Sunday. Then in the evening we went to a pizza place called the "Ice House", also an interesting place. Pretty good pizza. Out front was an osprey's nest with a couple of babies in it. All in all, a helluva day! Thanks Ron.
