Approaching the section where the miners worked the river for "flour" gold. It was so-called because of its fineness and amount of work to find. The Chinese were working claims where the easy-pickins' were gone and the white miners were too lazy to continue. (This is not racism on my part but what everyone acknowledged.

Panoramic view getting closer to the massacre site.

Terrain just before Dug Bar Ranch, where the murderers are conjectured to have plotted.

Another view of Robinson's Gulch, the secondary killing site.

Approaching Robinson's Gulch, where another group of miners were working and killed.

Approaching Dug Bar Ranch (see caption for next photo).

Dug Bar Ranch, where the murderers likely stayed plotting the killings. It's just a few miles south of Robinson's Gulch, the secondary murder-site.

Approaching Deep Creek (left edge), this is part of the killing ground of those Chinese miners.

Approaching Deep Creek on the Idaho side.

This is Deep Creek, the site where the majority of the killings took place. None of the terrain was as I had imagined. The captain of the jetboat let me off to look around and have a minute of silence.

The Kirkwood Ranch, some 90 miles upriver from Lewiston, was the turn-around point of the trip. During the Great Depression, a future governor of Idaho and his family (wife, three kids) lived there for more than a decade. The ranch was only accessible via the river.

The log cabin houses a museum of items from the period when the family lived there in the 1930s.

Blacksmith building. (Note the natural air-conditioning.)

The historic ranch has a collection of farming equipment.

Leaving Dan and Sally's cabin outside of Lolo, MT, these two bunnies, each the size of a large cat, took their sweet time crossing the road. Even after I lowered the window and shouted "Rabbit stew!!"

Blue skies, white clouds, green fields, sunshine....Oregon in the Spring north of Ashland on the way to Eugene. br />

It's my blog and if I want a photo of a grain elevator, by golly I'll have it! (But look at the clouds and the colors!)

Yeah, nothing going on here: I just liked the clouds and the perspective of the road. It's my view for most of every day.
