Highway sidetrips..................

 Years ago, Jerry and I packed the three kids and two dogs into our Dodge Ram, and headed down the road on a 10 day road trip.

 We left Nevada, headed up into southern Idaho, and worked our way over to Yellowstone. From there, we went North, up into Montana.

  On our way to Missoula, we took off the interstate, and drove up a graveled out of the road, ending up at a  small mining ghost town called Garnet.
Montana’s most intact ghost town was never built to last.

Garnet endures along with the spirits of the rugged gold miners and their families who carved a community in the heart of the Garnet Mountain Range at the end of the nineteenth century.

What a treasure.

We spent an enjoyable afternoon wandering around the old buildings and reliving the memories of a forgotten era.

So, if your on a little road trip, and see some side roads, don't be in too much of a hurry to pass them by.

Down that little dirt road, might be a treasure you could find.
