Now what an interesting tidbit of history this is! How do you ladies find such neat things to view and learn about? I am so happy to get a glimpse of what's out there in other parts of the country that I never saw. When I was traveling in my VW Bus, in the 60s, across the country and back several times, I was just happy to stop in the middle of nowhere and camp for free with the wildlife----I truly can't remember much of anything historically noteworthy that I took the time to visit. I do remember the "Going to the Sun" highway over the Rockies, and, at one point, Donner's Pass'-----(was not hungry for days after that trip!!) Other than that, my travelings were in and about young federal parks where there was nothing but wolves, coyotes, elk, bison, grizzlies, black bears, and myriads of smaller critters.
I love this group's finding such interesting spots to visit, and the wonderful pictures and info you pass along to us all.
Thanks to all of you!
