I spent 4 years in my childhood around Bonners Ferry Idaho, (well, in vicinity anyway, north of Bonners about 30 miles in Good Grief(you will pass it along hiway#95 on your way to Canada), just south of the Canadian border (Eastport/Kingsgate). I went to school at Mt Hall Elementary in 4th, 5th & 6th grade waaaay back when in 1958,'59 and '60. Lived on a stump ranch with no running water or indoor plumbing, tho' we did have electricity! We went into Bonners twice a month for groceries etc, and used to get a quarter to spend in the 5 and dime store or to get a soda at the drugstore soda fountain. You could get a soda float for 15 cents and have enough left for two candy bars at 5 cents each. Gas was 19-20 cents a gallon. The town was bustling then, as logging and the sawmills were booming! In those years, there was a big narrow iron trestle bridge across the river, and the narrow road wound up the north hill on a different route than the one now. That old road slid down the hillside a bunch of years ago, not sure how many, but over 10 years ago, at least. Blow a kiss to the town from me as you virtually pass through, OK? Hi!
