Celebrating the Season

Halloween Eve was a perfect day for the fourth tour in the Idaho City Chamber of Commerce Fall Series, Getting to Know Idaho City (Better). Walulla’s Coffee and Bake was our launching point. Bill and Connie took good care of us. Connie used her culinary…

Tour 3; Number two for me

This past Monday my Idaho City business (BoCo Sluice Box) was the “host” for the kick off of the third in the Idaho City Chamber Fall Tour Series. The day started out miserable, not raining (or snowing) anymore but chilly and overcast. I had announced…
