Salmon,Idaho

Saturday-August 7, 2010Today we went to the town of Salmon. A lot of history here. Enjoyed the museum. The monument of Sacajawea, the indian lady who accompanied Lewis and Clark on their expedition is in this town. The Lewis and Clark Back Coutry Byway and Adventure Road is located in this county,Lemhi County.
The monument of the dog that accompanied Lewis and Clark on their trail.
Carlye wanted to go to Salmon Cemetery to look for the grave of Jesse McCaleb. He was the only soldier who was killed by the American Indians in the town of Mackay, Idaho. There's a mountain in Mackay named after Jesse McCaleb. Carlye found the grave of Jesse McCaleb and his family.
The trip to Salmon was a good one. Enjoyed it. Learning a lot of Idaho history.
The only thing about this trip that wasn't good was Earl lost his necklace. No big deal it can be replaced.

Earl detached our tow car before we parked the RV.After Earl hooked up the utilities to the RV we both rested and chatted with the neighbors. Had lunch and read my book. After a while we went to the hot mineral pool and soaked there for 15 minutes. Very relaxing. From there we went to the hot spring swimming pool. Stayed there for almost an hour. Had dinner and after dinner we went for a walk by Salmon River and around the park. Bugs and mosquitoes started to come around and started biting so we decided to stay inside the coach.

Earl just relaxing listening to music. 9pm is bedtime for Earl. Connie still reading her book Went to bed at 11:30pm.
