Let's do Moscow, shall we?

**A message from H2H...  Our hearts are with you today.  We heard of the incident, and send our thoughts and prayers.  Liz, Kathy & Kelly

We continued east, stopping in Shoshone County, and Wallace, Idaho before getting into Moscow, Idaho about 9:30 pm.

Wallace has some fun stuff, and the local firefighter were more than happy to take a break from their painting duties to come look studly for us.  Not sure they had a clue who we were,or what we were doing, but heck, it looked like fun, so why not?

The town of Wallace has a storied past, as many of the mining towns do.  And looking for culture, we found our way to the museum.  That's my story ... and you know the rest.  Sadly they were closed, what with it being a Mother's Day Sunday ... But I'm going back, because I really want a t-shirt from this place!

Moscow was a great stop.  WSU graduation meant lots of activity for the local police department, but the most excitement we saw was going on the at the station.  Rookie got tasered, our first policeman this year gave the shirt off his back, and we all had a lot of fun.

Outside, the fountain was spewing pink bubbles into the air, adding to the festivities.  Unfortunately, without any rooms left, due to graduation ... we had to drive on to Coeur D'Alene for the night.  Normally not a big deal, but we were pretty tired and the sky unzipped onto dark, one lane roads.  The lines were nearly invisible to us through the racing windshield wipers fighting to keep pace with the rain.  We made really poor time, and finally got to bed around 1:30am.  It was a lonnnnng day, and the alarm would ring less than four hours later.

So here are the pix from the rest of day one.
