We are having a great vacation trip, but we are surrounded by fires in Idaho and Montana. When the wind blows in the wrong direction, this is the result. We have had several days like this, when the smoke blotted out the Sun.
The Shower Bath Fire, near Challis has kept us out of the National Forest and a visit to Cobalt. We wanted to visit the Panther Creek Inn, the owner had expressed interest in our book on Cobalt and the Blackbird Mine. Summer tourist are always asking questions, and he thought the book would help. So far our book Cobalt: The Legacy of the Blackbird Mine has been warmly received, we have multiple orders for delivery in November.
