In the midst of our own summer of heat, drought, and fire, John and I get away to Wallace, Idaho where a devastating fire destroyed this historic mining town in 1910. We spend a delightful day absorbing its history including a visit to the mining museum and train depot. We find a dispersed camping spot just outside of town and then hike the Pulaski Tunnel Trail that commemorates the heroic efforts of firefighters including Ed Pulaski and his crew of 45 men who took refuge in an old mining tunnel.
PBS made a documentary about the Big Burn here: www.pbs.org/wg...

Very proud to live in peace in Wallace, Idaho

@GCHatSCHOOL Год назад

This is a beautiful area. I grew up in the Spokane area, but my roots run deep in those hills. My grandparents met while he was a mining engineer at the Bunker Hill mine and my great grandfather was an electrical engineer for Asarco. The used to go on dates at the miners cap(in Kellogg, by the freeway), and the water fountain that's kinda tucked off of the freeway in Mullan? That was my great grandfather's idea to eliminate excess water waste from the lucky Friday mine. And if you get back there, go in mid to late August to pick huckleberries...one of the best things ever! Great video, and thanks for the trip down memory lane!

Thank you for sharing your connection. I’m hoping to go back next summer.

Thanks for the video and the tour! Bugs less, but still coming out. 🙁 About to head down to Yellowstone, Grand Tetons, and Cody to get a break from them. Smoke/haze covering the mountains here.

@joycemarino9800 3 года назад

Great video and timely! We're currently at the Couer d'Alene Resort and Casino doing some lot camping taking some down time to hook up for AC and taking care of some business needs. We read Timothy Egan's book "The Big Burn" over the winter but were so busy hadn't planned to do the hike but you lit a fire under us and we're going to do it either tomorrow or the next day! Thanks for the incentive!😉

Get there early as parking can be limited.

I just wrote this town and trail down in my book of ideas! Wow - the town looks super interesting and that trail - what an amazing story. Excellent one 😀

There is a private campground within walking distance of the town but it was full.

Wow such a beautiful trail !! Amazing to see that burnt tree still standing since 1910, 111 years ago. Idaho is also on our list to visit one day when we make it out to the West Coast with our 2021.5 Pleasure-Way OnTour 2.0.

@lifestidepools 3 года назад

Another wonderful video! I'm starting a list of all the interesting places you go to so when we are finally able to hit the road we have some great go to places. Continues safe travesl

Wonderful video - thank you! I'm going to add Wallace to my "must see" list.

@jdunnigan6893 3 года назад

Just a bit further east of there, at the Idaho/Montana border, is the Hiawatha Trail, another interesting Rails to Trails adventure. We did it renting bikes at the Lookout Pass Ski and Recreation Area. The good news is that you can do it one-way -- they will shuttle you and your bikes most of the way back. Very interesting.

@FromShetoMe 3 года назад

Good to know about the shuttle. Thanks.

Good variety in this video-the Fire Fighters who perished I wonder how their wives managed to carry on w/out them, very interesting all that you showed us, entertainment by John and his brunette-too funny! Thank you for all your work in preparing for the shots and editing the video-nice work👍🏼👏🏼

@always.wondering.wandering 3 года назад

Jalapeno lime! Sounds like you liked it. I use to live in Montana and have been around Idaho but haven't hiked that trail, thanks for taking us there. I use to go to Sandpoint, Idaho and hit the big clearance sales at Coldwater Creek fashions, scored some good deals. Too bad they went belly up in I think 2015, it has a new owner now somewhere else. Idaho is a great state to wander around in, enjoy!

@EJS1970 3 года назад

We have been to Wallace a zillion times. You should have taken the mine tour into a real silver mine. Did they close the Oasis brothel? Very interesting tour. Also the rails to trails is the Trail of the Coeur d’ Alenes and runs 72 miles across the Idaho panhandle. Also visit the monument of the Sunshine Mine fire in Kellogg which if you went east to get to Wallace you had to pass through Kellogg. And last but not least the movie Dante’s Inferno was filmed in Wallace. We visited the train museum too. And Lana Turner was born in Wallace and her house is still standing. But we have not been on the hike you did. We are all too familiar with fires, our nephew was burned over 60% of body in the Twisp fire August 2015. We love your videos!

@FromShetoMe 3 года назад

We ran out of time to do the tour but will go again. Yes, the Oasis closed this year. We were told it was the only “for profit” museum in town and the family wanted to sell the building and move on. But what a shame.

@EJS1970 3 года назад

@@FromShetoMe I’ll be damned. That’s too bad. About the Oasis.

Headed to the rails to trails trail for an electric bike tour this next week. Thanks for sharing. This gave me a good insight on what to expect. Love your content and style. You both have been inspiring me to follow in your footsteps.

@jennyfagan7337 3 года назад

You should ride the route of Hiawatha! Great interpretive signs travel through 2 or 3 tunnels , bike into the Bitteroots, and back int Idaho. It follows the the old Milwaukee rail line! Absolutely gorgeous!

@FromShetoMe 3 года назад

Thanks. We will attempt on another trip when it isn't as hot as it was then.

@jennyfagan7337 3 года назад

Feel free to contact me if you’re up for looking for a fun place in Idaho because I am one of those few natives who grew up in South Eastern Idaho but has traveled this state near and far

@edmalin2225 3 года назад

Been watching you guys for sometime always enjoy your videos! Question….we have a Beyond class B, fresh water & black tanks a concern when boondocking. What is your process for carrying fresh water & maintaining the black tank level. Thnx much

@FromShetoMe 3 года назад

We are pretty frugal with our water so we can go about a week. The problem with the black tank is the sensors get clogged so it's hard to tell when they are full. Sometimes I just have to peer into the abyss. But we haven't had any problem finding dump stations out west. Don't know much about other areas of the country. What problems are you having? Just not enough capacity?

@VANTREKKINGlifestyle 3 года назад

First… that was a good gator, but I fear he was a little lost if he ended up there in Idaho. BTW, with all those boarded up buildings… do you know if two ladies are standing on a corner in Wallace… how do you know which one is the prostitute?…… it’s the one that says “I..Da…Ho!”. Haha! More where that one came from… keep on my dad jokes in a Dad A Base. Great video dear friends. Hope you’re safe, healthy and happy.

@FromShetoMe 3 года назад

Every time we see a gator we think of you guys. Hope you are being productive in your time off or maybe the whole point was to kick back. But I kinda doubt it. You’ve got something cookin…

@educateddogcenter 3 года назад

You must read The Big Burn by Timothy Egan! Also, if anyone has any suggestions I’m interested in reading about the real women in the bordellos. Who were they, how did they end up there? There must be some harrowing stories about their survival in terrible circumstances. Many must have been heroes, too. 😟

@FromShetoMe 3 года назад

I saw a book in the mining museum about them. And I saw this book on line: “Selling Sex in the Silver Valley: A Business Doing Pleasure,”
