Things in my neighborhood.



Downtown Kellogg:
Sure times are tough but I'm confident that the Police station and Library will soon be open again. Just as soon as the Census 2010 money comes rolling in.....

Actually these are images from the Hecla Mine just down the road a piece outside of Burke, ID. It's now a ghost town and sports some amazing old infrastructure including a townsite and many old homes that lined the canyon down to the valley. Silver and Lead Ore came from the mine and it was part of a huge labor rebellion back in the day that took federal troops to settle but not before the miners burned part of the operation down. Now it is just like you see here, a bunch of creepy old buildings and ruins. Cool eh?
