It is so much fun seeing our area through somebody else's eyes. Did about the same stuff abet 18 years ago. Chet has a ton of exploring that I know he will enjoy.
The swinging bridge was supposed to be replaced this spring - looks like they did not get it done. Lots of folks won't go on that bridge as it bounces and swings. Took my uncle a few years back; he walked out about 3ft and would not go further!
You don't want to go in this river at this location - you would end up in Bonners Ferry banging your head on the beach. BF is about 40 miles as the river runs.
The car show ( Igniters ) had pretty slim pickens this year and has been gaining since the plague. Looked to be 250+ when I went down on Saturday morning. I have seen 450+ cars lining Mineral with a beer in everybody's hands. They could not afford the insurance to 'do the cruize'; basically do a burn-out from the street corners up and down Mineral. Nobody 'launched' their car into 2nd, all shut down before that. There is only one stop sign on Mineral and that would get covered up by the Sheriff for this party. Even though not having the cruize is not as fun, I completely understand the insurance part. It seems to be an accident waiting for a time to happen as there would be kids sitting on the curb watching the hot rods and if somebody broke something.... The Igniters run security teams in ATV's keeping party goers out of the streets which works very good. Couple of pix if I may:
Later!
