| Northern Idaho - Silver Valley This morning I felt easy because I did not have any specific plan today. Although I had always made a reservation for a motel in advance since leaving LA, I did not even do so 
today. I decided to stay somewhere close to Seattle as much as I can. The only thing I had to do was to visit at Idaho welcome center I would find along I-90. However, I could not find the welcome center. I am afraid that if I just drove through Idaho, I could not have got any specific information about Idaho. Although I have known Idaho is  famous for potato, I had no evidence of it. So, I was trying to find any
interesting sign while driving. In the first about 10 minutes in Idaho, I could sometimes see a word, "Historic." But Historic for what? Although I tried to find something related to those words,  there was nothing. I could often see a city name, Silver Town, too. An
idea hit me; Silver Mining.  My guess was right. Silver Mining is one of the most famous things in Idaho.
I could find some information about it in Old Mission State Park along
I-90. So, I felt comfortable because today's task was over. |

What I Learned Today - Who is a woman with a baby on $1? While reading a travel guide of Washington State, I happened to find out
that they are "Sacagawea," who was an Indian woman as well as
an interpreter of Lewis and Clark Expedition, and her son "Pompy."
They were inscribed on $1 coin for commemorate their contribution to the
Expedition. |
