Gilmore

this is the road leaving Salmon. the road goes on forever! at this point is a ghost town called Gilmore. it's an old mining town. many of the buildings are still there. dating back to theearly 1900's.

this old building is completely covered in pressed tin. it was sooooo pretty.

was all intriging to me.....

so much history......

now someone has come in and bought the land. and they are selling lots starting at $3400! you can live amoung the old buildings. if you buy there you promise to not distroy anything. you have to preserve history. so there were new homes amoung the old. interesting.....

Salmon River

we took a drive along the Salmon River. we saw lots of fishermen out on the river. I just loved this part of our trip. soooo beautiful. enjoy

and this pic is my very favorite one. so beautiful.....

Wagonhammer

There is a place by Salmon called wagonhammer. not sure about how it got it's name. but on the road is a little place. water comes streaming out 24 ours a day. cold and pure. taste sooooo good. then there is a little stream that runs right into the salmon river.

we took our kids there when they were young. it's hasn't changed much at all.

Idaho Candy

while in Idaho, I saw lots of these. so I had to try it. candy made with potatoes. hmmmmm, it was OK. this is an Idaho spud candy, also has potato in it. I believe. soft center, chocolate on the outside with coconut. hmmmmmm, OK....

I guess I like doughnuts made with potatoes, rolls made with potatoes, and bread made with potatoes. candy - um, no.........LOL.......

Tower Creek

Bruce took me to Tower Creek when he took me up there for the first time many, many years ago. here is the road. it hasn't changed in all this time. everywhere you look, there are these towers. I think they are volcano vents. but it looks pretty cool.

almost like monuments......

and then a single one once in a while......

this one is waving to us......

and then a whole row......

fascinating!!!

Sites in Salmon

Unless you are family, you might not be interested in this update. but there are some pretty pics..... this is the house where Bruce lived while in Salmon. it was brand spanking new. they have changed a few things. Bruce says they have added on quite a bit. being a AZ girl I haven't seen much in the way of fall trees. so i had to take this pic of a fall tree in front of Bruce's old high school. it is now the Jr. High.

this is in downtown Salmon. I thought it was an interesting way to represent the town of Salmon.

I took this pic because they have different numbers for each county. do they do that in all states? anyway, small numbers!

this is on the bridge over the salmon river. right in the middle of town. this is only part of the river.

this is a better picture of Bruce's old high school.

these are part of the mountains surrounding Salmon. isn't that just darn beautiful!

as we were driving around - maybe a block from downtown. we saw these deer. in town, in someones front yard! Bruce said as I was taking the picture, why don't you look to the right?

and I saw these! oh my goodness. sorry about the glare. but I didn't even think to roll down the window. I guess my city girl is coming out. now you know, I am a city girl! LOL.....

Here is the chapel where Bruce went to church.

and here, the hallowed ground where Bruce played football. may we have a moment of silence please.........

Bruce had a wonderful time finding his old haunts, reminiscing. and telling stories. I enjoyed listening......
