Cleo’s Ferry Museum

 One of the best, but lesser known, attractions in the greater Boise Valley, is Cleo’s Ferry Museum. The Museum and Nature trail is  wonder to visit.

Located along the Snake River just outside of Melba, Idaho rests this wonderful fairy trail. Within its boards you will encounter live peacocks, and have the chance to encounter other wild life, such as deer, beaver, foxes, snakes and more.

The park itself is a wonderful collection of statues, artwork, signage, and sitting areas to enjoy the atmosphere.


This has been a family favorite of ours for the better part of thirty years. Although there are other great things to discover in the Melba area this is one of the best.

Fishing Under the Bridge

Today I took a couple of young men fishing.  Myself, I am not a fisherman at all, but I do enjoy sitting next to the river as much as they do. We pulled off Middleton Road just south of the Boise River. A small, well-beaten down trail led to the water’s edge. The concrete bridge sat next to an old wooden train bridge, no longer used and overtaken by the surrounding growth of plant life.  The concrete bridge was covered in spray painted grefetti, it blended in a hodgepodge of numerous colors with long elongated letters or crisp precise designs.  There was a large sand covered beach running along under the bridge, with a waterfront mini beach on each side. The guys reached picked a side and cast out. I snapped a few pictures for Facebook and TikTok and settled into a chair, just enjoying the 75 degree fall afternoon. A woman and her toddler came down the path and slipped off their shoes and waded into the River, even with one of the guys fishing on that side there was ample...

California Trip Day 2

We woke early on Day two of our trip. We wanted to get to Rough and Ready, California as early as week could. Grandma lives there and we wanted to visit.  Going over the mountains that divide Nevada and California is always a treat. The two hour trip was amazing. I drove down Insterstate 80 to Colefax and then through Grass Valley and over to Rough and Ready. I always giggle at the name of the town, a little dirty in my opinion. A great place for a grandma to live. Rough and Ready was named after the Rough and Ready Mining Company in the mid 1800. The post office asked them to pick either Rough or Ready, but they refused and the name stuck. After visiting with Grandma we decided to Grass Valley. Grass Valley was a very cool town with a bustling downtown area. There are multiple shops along the roadways. We stopped at a couple of clothing stops, a comic shop and a couple antique shops. I found a classic 3D picture viewer from the 1800’s. I fell in love with this and can’t wait to di...
