Sept. 28 - Fort Steele

Fort Steele was an old gold rush town, now a historic site and popular tourist destination.





 This barbershop sure gives you the feeling you're in the wild west, doesn't it?  Civilized but wild!













And for those of you who might be feeling a little overwhelmed at times, just think - this could be parked outside, waiting for your attention 24/7!

 Now, if you're anything like me, this sight scares you!  Why?  Because it's a dental chair!  Similar, of course, to the electric chair...!!!!

 I guess they tried to distract with music?  While they ripped your teeth out...?!

 "Painless Dentristy" my a**!!!!  Even today, with all the meds and tools, it's still not painless!  Obviousy, MUCH better, but not quite painless...

 A drugstore - with cameras!











 And inside the schoolroom...


Yes, God save the Queen.  And the best part:  a child should "behave mannerly at the table, at least as far as he is able."









 32 ft diameter water wheel used in the mining process.










 A lass from the early days sits outside the Lambi house (built in 1935 by a Finnish dude and housing up to 10 people during the Depression) entertains visitors, including this happy little fellow.


Just as if truly returned from the past, here she is again, haunting the kitchen!
