I have been to Salmon a few times. My siblings and I built a cabin that we share that is in that part of the state. I live in the mountains of west central Idaho. Salmon is more to the East of that. I have pretty much lived most of my life in Boise, but moved to this area 3 years ago and retired now.
Boise was where we lived the most. and the surrounding area. I went to Taft grade school and Boise High School for awhile. I can’t remember the name of the junior high i went to as it was one of MANY. Went to Meridian Jr. high for awhile. I remember that. Lived in Eagle and Nampa. Went to Sandpoint High for awhile. like I said… eleven places lol! most people don’t even know there ARE 11 places in Idaho! Oh ya… went to a one room school house in Atlanta Idaho for awhile…
That is way too cool! I know all of the places you are mentioning. I went to Garfield, East Jr. High and Boise High, graduated in 1965. I have been to Atlanta so I know why they only had a one room school. Atlanta is soooooooooooo small.
Becky… totally cracks me up. you are the first person i’ve ever met whose been to Atlanta! and I was there in 69-71. although just during the summers. in those days you couldn’t travel the road in the winter. don’t know if it’s still the same. My mom and step dad owned the Hub restaurant and bar. which it appears is still there! in those days it was the ONLY thing there. I used to get put to sleep on the pool table in the bar at night. Or on a little bench off to the side of the bar. My mom would close down the pool games and pille coats for me to sleep on. then they’d carry me home at night. One of my fondest memories is waking up in that bar to the sound of my moms shot gun going off. she was breaking up a fight between "minors and hippies" on the fourth of july. they’d all come out of the mountains to drink for the holiday. ahhh the memories. very funny…
It just goes to show what a small world it is. That road to Atlanta is still closed during the worst part of winter. I was only there when we were camping in the area during summers. It is still a long rough dirt road to get there. What state do you live in now?
I’ve spent the last 25 years in washington state. Eastern Washington the first 20 and Southwest Washington the last 5. I intend on doing a long motorcycle ride around Idaho this summer. We road to Jackson Wyoming last summer so we were in Stanley I think it is… and Teton… Idaho Falls. But I wanted to go to Atlanta this year. although i’m guessing that road is still gravel. Harely’s don’t love gravel.
Oh my gosh, we have a lot in common because we have a harley and ride as much as we can during the spring, summer and fall. We went to Sturgis a few years ago. We plan to take a ride through northern Idaho and maybe parts of Montana. I would like to go to the Oregon coast also. Yes, the road to Atlanta is still gravel so wouldn’t be a good ride on the bike.
If you ride this way (oregon coast) contact me. We’ll meet you! I wondered if you rode… my avatar is a pic of a motorcycle I was riding in Arizona at Christmas time. My inlaws gave me a gnome for christmas and i strapped him on the back and rode all over with him. it was hilarious. people kept coming up by me and laughing. very funny. we named him Bob. Dont know if you can see him goo in the pic. He looks like the travelocity gnome.
I thought that was what was on the bike, wasn’t sure. I used to ride my own bike but I don’t anymore, too many wrecks. So I ride behind my husband now. That would be great to meet up sometime. We will have to stay in touch.
I live in what the native’s call a Rivah Town…Right off the Rappahannock River. Its a small town so everyone knows everyone. Its nice but sometimes its not so nice. You have your very rich who have their Rivah Homes and then you have your middle class and then the lower class. For the most part everyone lives in Harmony and all enjoy living the Rivah Life!
I live in the rural area of a very small village in the Land of Lincoln, just a few steps away from the village where Abe Lincoln spent his young years of his manhood. The capitol city is just a few miles to the south of my doorstep, with Peoria being just a few miles to my north.
We have two acres of rolling hills in a forest of trees. There are 6 deer which frequently bed down on the farthest back hillside on our property. One time my granddaughter spotted a flock of 14 wild turkeys pecking away in our backyard. Possums, raccoons, coyotes, squirrels, rabbits, fieldmice, skunks roam the countryside. And, we even have a small fox who is known for stealing meat from the grill apparently without getting burned! Nature living at its finest. Comfort of a home built among the creatures and critters.
We retired to Maine after living in both cities, NYC for a while, and suburbs. We love it, but we did move close enough to "city" life, theatre, art etc and only 2 hours from Boston. Even NYC by train is a great experience. We love the peace and quiet here and the pace which is so much different. We made the right choice.
