Hells Canyon Dam - Postcard Friendship Friday/Weekend Mailbox

The creases are still visible ...
From the journeys this card has been on ...
From somewhere ... to somewhere else ...
To the Goodwill ... then to me.

"The Snake River's most spectacular dam marks the beginning of the 32 mile Wild River Corridor. It is the last of 12 dams that produce two-thirds of the electricity generated by Idaho Power serving customers in a 20,000 square mile area."

If you have never visited the Snake River wilderness ... well, you should. Someday I will go back to visit this wild, raw, untamed natural area - it's been far too long.

Bonners Ferry Postcard - Postcard Friendship Friday, Weekend Mailbox

I found this postcard, with several others, tucked into an old photo album that covered Grandma and Grampa G's trip to Arizona in 1981.

They made frequent references to Bonners Ferry, Idaho over the years I knew and loved them ... it's where they grew up. It's where they met and fell in love.

Someday I will go there.

Grand Canyon - PFF, Weekend Mailbox

I have not yet had the opportunity to visit the Grand Canyon National Park.

I am glad, however, that in the United States, we have chosen to secure our national treasures forever - and hope that we will continue to do so!

Sir William Stanier.

8/20/77 - Steffi & Ken on a trip to London, where it was cold and raining.
I had to smile at one of their biggest obstacles -
driving on the opposite side of the road,
in the opposite side of the car.
