FISHIN DOWN WITH THE BREHMS
Here we are in the beautiful Washington wilderness. We are practically on the Washington, Idaho, and Canada borders.
Now that marijuana and same sex marriage are legal here, I am thinking of marrying a pot grower just to get the family discount. Just kidding..... Diane is showing you the one that got away.
WAITING TO CATCH MY LIMIT
I love fishing! I didn't get a bite, but look at that scenery. Besides the deer and land animals, there were ducks, Canadian Geese, and bald eagles to watch. Weather was real nice.
MUSEUM TRAIN DEPOT
Pretty sophisticated for it's day, Newport was available for almost all types of transportation, both human and cargo.
A ONE HORSE OPEN SLEIGH, JINGLE JINGLE
Evidence of the cold winters was very evident in the museum grounds, everything from this personal family use sleigh to huge lumber gathering sleds, to delivery van sleds were common.
DIANE COULD NOT RESIST SHOPPING WITH THE GIRLS.
This museum is very complete is all the towns activity. It is strictly run by town volunteers, and the pride in the towns history is evident. For a small mining town, it was surprising how many social organizations were active here.
NEWPORT MINING MUSEUM
A lot of mining and mineralogy studies took place here in Newport. Several ores were mined here, and the waterways were often modified, or redirected to facilitate extraction. The museum is very telling of the past mining activity.
LOCAL WATERING HOLE SINCE 1894
This is the oldest bar in Newport. Right across the street from the Town Museum. Real friendly folks here, and fantasmal burgers. This place is like the olde Public Houses of earlier times. It is almost the town convention center. As a matter of fact, Saturday before last, the 30 year high school reunion was held here in the poker room.
Community Service Center at Kelly's Pub
Thought a few of you would get a kick out of this service. Some may even want to take advantage.
