Idaho City 2011

The weather hasnt been as warm as it usually is time of year so instead of playing in the water we decided to go check out Idaho City. Its kind of a fun old town with lots of history. THe populations is not quite 500 so everybody pretty much knows everyone. Im sure people were looking at us and our 4 kids thinking those noisey tourist...lol! It was basically a small town until the 1860's when there was a huge gold rush there bringing thousands of people there to fight for gold...literally. Lots of stories about people killing others for gold. We checked out the old jail, a museum, the strip, and the cemetary which was the best part. The cemetary was very interesting seeing all the old graves, some were marked "unknown" and they say out of the first 200 graves dug back then only 28 were deaths by natural causes. We finished the day with some yummo pizza and Uswirl!











There were no headstones on these ones, but they are thought to be 2 infants.
