We enjoyed the Memorial Day weekend in the Challis Salmon area. It was such a beautiful weekend. We took a bicycle ride 4 miles into Salmon and explored the town a bit since I had never stopped there before. We explored a couple of Ghost towns and cemetaries. The picture on the upper right is an old dredge used to dig for gold on 6 1/2 miles of a stream up a canyon. It was pretty amazing seeing it sitting there in the middle of a canyon. There were 3 tour guides giving the tour and when the 3rd guide walked up to us I could have sworn the we had found Dave's long lost twin brother. He even wore the same floppy hat. The lower left is an old Dam they dismanteled on the Salmon River. They blasted out the hill on the side of the dam instead of taking down the dam. We escaped the rain for the whole weekend except when it rained in the middle of the night. What a fun trip!

That sounds like an awesome weekend. I especially enjoyed the part about meeting Uncle Dave's long lost twin. Very funny!
That cement dam is pretty cool (although I think I'd be worried if I lived below it). What a cool explore!
I love that area - I need to convince my parents that they need to see it.
