A short trail ride

On my way to camp -  between Sweet and Dry Buck

I think this is a Northern Flicker

The Upper Brownlee School is a historic school building
located on Dry Buck Road near Sweet, Idaho, United States.
The school was built in 1911 by the residents of Brownlee,
one of the several small mining communities which had grown
in the Boise River basin in the late 19th century. The two-room
schoolhouse was built in keeping with contemporary standards
for rural schools; it provided for heating and ventilation, had
several windows to provide light, included two cloakrooms and
a library room, and featured hand-carved wooden trim for decoration.
Like many rural Idaho schools, the schoolhouse also served as
the local community center. The declining local population and
the expense of new safety regulations in the 1940s spelled the end
of Brownlee's school, and the district merged into Sweet's district
in 1951. The building was purchased by area residents to serve as a
community center and is now the only active community building in the area.
The school was added to the National Register of Historic Places on March 31, 1998.

Couldn't find my way from marker to marker, but I found a bird nest (empty)

Ran into Zipper Lips between #3 and #4...

And Hot to Trot...

And Die Hards II...

And Three Amigos...

And Lucky Ladies!

The horses were happy to find the creek by #4

This doesn't show it as well as I wanted, but the creek was shiny with gold!

I can't remember the question... but Zach knew the answer

Where the heck are we? And how do we get to #4?

Found it!  Now to #5...

Pretty views, but not the right way to #5...

Back to #4...

Ran into Circuit Riders near #4

I have NEVER been SO HAPPY to see a pond in all my life!  (finally headed the RIGHT way to #5)

#5, now back to camp!

Happy Birthday, Barry!

The Pinehurst Church was built in 1934 and dedicated as the
Foursquare Gospel church. The first service was held there on
Thanksgiving Day. Rev. Howard E. May was the pastor at the time.
It served the small lumber town of Pinehurst, which included a
store, post office, school, and several saw mills.

On my way back I spied this neat church up on the hill near the school...

The Chapel on the Hill at Timber Butte Homestead

I think the road was maybe a little bumpy!
