Wallace, Idaho

.We drove from Coeur D'Alene through Idaho and into Montanta today. We were looking for a nice place to stay somewhere between Coeur D'Alene and Missoula. We passed through Walace, ID early in the journey and fell in love with it, but foolishly decided to keep driving in the false belief that somewhere just as cool would come up further down the road. Walace was really cool because all of the old buildings were still there and pretty much intact, in their original styles. .I found a great old sign to take some photos of, in the spirit of adding to my collection of cool old signsSign making was an art and now it is basically gone. Which is really too bad because signs on buildings used to add so much character and personality to buildings and whole towns. Another artform bites the dust.

Here is a picture taken today in the car. Don't ask me why I look so exhausted after falling asleep watching cable tv before midnight.

Now we're in Missoula. I will be posting a photo-narrative about the motel we are staying at tonight, tomorrow.
