We went up for Krissy to put salt out at the 480. She had to carry 50# of salt because dad couldn't lift it. Afterward we had a picnic and then sat and watched a hugh herd of elk right on the corner of McIntyre road--fascinating!

Train Ride

We left the Minam Station at 5:pm Sept 1 and returned at 8:45. We ran a litte late because of cows on the tracks, a funny noise the engineer didn't like, and a change in direction. It was a fun trip with a dinner consisting of hourdvours and fondue--but it was a fun dinner. We only saw 4 deer! The engineer and the conductor saw a black bear! There was no moon, so it was pitch dark far about 1/2 hour coming home. (It was booked as a "moonlight" trip--beautiful with the full moon on the water! But no moon! We did enjoy it, though, and thank Krissy for the neat Christmas present!
