Julie and I have begun taking pictures of old, abandoned buildings as we pass by them. They speak volumes of a history that has been truly facinating to learn and study. This house was the first home-steader in Hill City, Idaho. A town 14 miles west of Fairfield on Hwy 20. Hill City was settled because the rail road decided to stop there, for no good reason other than the tracks werestarting to rise into the foothills and they didn't want to lay the tracks through the mountains. Hill City has all but disapeared now. I fell in love with this building.The following weekend, Julie and I traveled through the m
ountains from Fairfield to Ketchum. The drive into Ketchum usually takes between 50 minutes to an hour and ten minutes. It took us nearly four hours as we traveled slowly through the beautiful, rugged mountains. We saw this old mining shack at the base of Dollar Hide Mountain - I'm sure it was associated with the Dollar Hide Silver Mine.
