SEEING THE FUTURE AND PAST FROM THE PRESENT

 

Once packed up, we head on down the road—literally! –We drive down for about 6 miles. But then we head UP (and up and up!) for about 15 miles, climbing to the top of the pass on a switchback –filled road.  From the top, it is 17 miles DOWN the other side to the bottom of the hill.  The canyon is narrow and we simply work our way up and then back down—viewing the future road waaaay ahead and above us

And then looking waaay back down and behind us where we have just driven– quite the ride!  The bus does great climbing the grades. We don’t dare stop at any pullouts or overlooks, though.  We  want to keep up our momentum!

We arrive in Idaho City, stopping at the visitor center where we pick up a map of the ‘Old Town’ area and some descriptions and history of various buildings in town. We are ready to stretch our legs and decide to investigate the town. Following the map, we walk into the old town area

The old buildings are really OLD and some of them are interesting, especially the ones purchased by the county that are currently being used for offices – even the Court House! None of the little shops or eateries are open – can’t do much business that way
