It's no secret.....I love ghost towns. Ever since my childhood days of visiting Bannack, MT, I have been mesmorized by them....the history, the mystery. How perfect it is that we now live out west again. My goal is to see as many of them as possible....without driving my husband and son too crazy along the way. We visited the town of Gilmore, ID, on a recent trip back from Montana. I'd been so excited for the hours prior to the stop, but I wasn't so excited when it started raining....pouring.....just miles before we reached Gilmore. As inconvenient as it was to be cold and soaking wet with muddy shoes and a shower cap and umbrella over my camera, I must say the weather really played into the mood of the place. It made me ever-so-thankful to be able to get back into a warm car after our little excursion. But on the flip side, it really made me think how miserably cold is must have been for the miners 'back in the day' returning to one of these shacks after a long day in the mines. Oh how we've gotten soft......
