I get a kick out of how much of this is written and what is considered news back 'in the good old days'. If I really wanted to learn all about Salmon, I'd go to the library and see if I could find anything on the spotted fever that was referred to in the second one. That, to me, would be interesting, because I think of the impact it would have had on a small community and the little out-lying areas.
Sure is interesting how you could buy a large chunk of land for nothing a number of years back....and its now probably worth (if its still intact) around a million.
