Boise, ID

Scary shivs.

Cell block
Showers and a sort of funny tomb stone.

Well today was a day of frustration. There was supposed to be a Sports Museum, must have moved because GPS took us to nothing. Couldn't find it so tried the zoo, that looked really lame so we passed on that. Tried the Historical Museum--closed! So out of desperation, I took Owen to a jail for Father's Day! It was a functioning jail until 1973 and is now a museum. Quite a place, pretty scary and definitely before the time of prisoners rights. Death row included a gallows! Hard to believe that four people resided inside of these cells. The pottys had a padded cover and back rest so they could be used as a chair. Some of the cells had original graffiti. There were other historical relics on site such as a history of firearms beginning with spears & swords and going through each war and how the weapons changed. Boise is not a town with lots to do we are having a hard time finding a place for dinner that isn't fast food. Cloudy and a bit chilly today, feels more like home:-)
