OK
I am going to back up just a little, I am always giving my co-pilot a bad time about
Casino's but she paid for part of trip last nite about 2800 green ones, maybe I will
start looking for casino's instead of finding roads around them !!!!!!
Today we made it as far as Cottage grove, was told our RV wasn't nice enough and
to old for their park which was in need of repairs its self, so we waved good by
and found a nicer & cheaper place up the road.
I like looking for old ghost towns and I knew Bohemia city was near, so off we went
maps in hand and a tank of gas up the row river we found the town of Dorena established
in 1896 but was flooded and had to be moved in 1946 when a damn was built in 1949
to create Dorena lake but that little country school is still in use up to 8th grade.We
missed a turn and ended up at fairview lookout at 5933 ft what a view and you can
rent it by the night { what a honey moon spot] she could really say she was in the
clouds] built in 1920 and some 50ft high OK back to the old town I found where
I went wrong, good thing its dry, a 4 wheel drive show about a mile of thats a long
ways down, can we get out of here etc we arrived at Bohemia city with a very well
built old store still standing, the Musick mine shaft was sealed off with a large
tailing pile out front with the mine cart tracks in need of repair but the shaft must
have been fairly long and misc mining stuff still there. would like to spend more
time there but its getting late wouldn't want to drive out in the dark without a set
of ear plugs
The Other Woman told me she is tied of this heat and is going to dump me if we
can't find a cooler place to hang out, homeward bound
LATER
