The Scenic West

Spencer, Idaho proved to be one of the more interesting and picturesque spots on our travels yesterday.  Note the gas station that also sold the  beautiful opal jewelry from a local opal mine.  And I was fascinated to find the towns Communication Center. . a pay telephone, a mailbox and the town bulletin board  all in one spot!  There was also a huge bell in a tower with a rope for pulling , but that was right down the street. The satellite office,I suppose!  Hey!  There is something to be said for simplicity!  On leaving town I had to stop and take a few pictures of this weathered old sail boat, sitting in a front yard.   I had not seen water in 100 miles, but if the great flood comes, at least one person is ready!   This town was fun...     and old. . and remote. . but fun!   SF
