Day 9 - Spokane - July 6

Geneology Day -- Packed up the car and headed off to "family ville" in Idaho. First stop Moscow, home of my great-grandparents. The old house still exists but it has been converted to 4 apartments and slightly remodeled. The old park across the street, where my father and his siblings used to play, was the setting for our picnic. We stopped off at the cemetary and found the plots. From there we headed off to Fix Ridge, the original homesite of my great-grandparents. They lived very high up on the ridge and although many parts of the original house were still there, some of it had been modified. From there, it was off to Kendrick, the place my father was born (and his siblings). The population was somewhere around 305; the original house is no longer there and the school has been torn down except for the gym, which is now a VFW hall. My grandfather hired my great uncle to build that. We spent some time at the local hardware store talking to the clerk who †ook my information for the historical society who is putting together a book on the area. It was homeward bound after this. A short stop off at the Spanish Tapas bar with cousin and aunt concluded the afternoon. Cousin and I went to Walgreens to print off some photos and then it was back to my aunt's for me.
