Picturesque Tekoa

Lewiston, ID
Hello Friends,

Things are going well in Idaho! We are on a week before break (always a good thing) and I am spending some time with long time friend and college room mate Pat Allen.


I have some pictures from Tekoa (Tea-ko) I wanted to share. Some towns have iconic architecture that defines them (Space Needle, Elfie Tower, Sydney Opera House) others natural landmarks (Grand Canyon, Niagara Falls, or the Thumb of Michigan). Tekoa has this massive railroad bridge.

Tekoa (if I am correct) use to be the end of the line for a railroad from Seattle and this bridge is what it came across to stop in Tekoa. It is really an impressive sight to see as you have been driving through nothing but rolling hills of agriculture for 40 minutes then -BAM- huge man made steal bridge.

You have to drive under it to get to down town and I did giggle like a little lad every time we went under. Trains have long since using this bridge and the town is training to turn it into a pedestrian bridge for trail to go through the county. Sadly a lot of legal tape is in the way and that dream is still aways off.

Finally, here is a picture of a child's costume bag. Some teams hold bag decorating contests, we do not. However this is by far the most intricate costume bag I have seen in a long long time. Can you guess what barnyard critter she was playing?
