I'm excited to finally be back participating in Theresa's (The Run-a-Round Ranch Report) GOOD FENCES meme. On Sunday (17) we decided to take a little drive about 45 out of town to visit a little spot we'd heard about but had never seen before. This is what we found.

My mom and Coleen enjoying learning about this part of history.
These two horses set up on a hill outside of the main sculpture area.
A close-up of some of the figures. I just missed getting William Clark in this shot so in the next photo I've cropped another photo to include his figure.
This last shot was taken by my hubby. Since I'm so rarely in front of the camera I asked him to take my picture so I could prove that I was there as well.
As you can see a Fence did border the area so it fits today's Meme even though it's more about the site then the fence. - Have a great day.
pretty neat sculpture 'garden' that is! very cool. thanks for sharing, ida!
ReplyDeleteHow interesting this is. I'm glad you remembered to be included in a photo. I forget that quite often. It would have been fun to do the Lewis and Clark trail with my kids when they were younger. Maybe I'll do it someday with grands...
ReplyDeleteNeato! I've been there. Always fun to see a spot on someone's blog of a place I've been to. Yes, I stood there for the longest time trying to visualize the scene in real life. I wasn't too successful but the representation there helped a lot. Great post and thank you for the memory.
ReplyDeleteAmazing! How every unusual and there were so many of them!
ReplyDeleteLooks like a great historical site to visit. We have L&C historical spots in southern Indiana, as well. :) Their expedition is nothing short of amazing!

This is so neat! Don't you love finding hidden treasures like this so close to home?!
ReplyDeleteSo cool! You have the neatest places to visit there. I know what you mean about including yourself in a photo now and then, too. I've had to do that lately so it won't look like I just dropped out of our lives after a point. Someday we'll have to tour your area. I've been to Walla Walla, but never really explored the surrounding area. Been many places in Washington, actually. Heck, I was born in Seattle and also lived in Sequim. As a teenager I lived in Pendleton for a while, which is when I used to visit Walla Walla. Pretty close.
