Drove about 100 miles North to Metaline Falls, WA – it is about 5 miles from the Canadian border. Nancy lived here from the age of 2 to almost 5. Russ was transferred by Lehigh Cement from Allentown to Metaline Falls. They lived in an old hotel (Nancy pic in front of hotel) until their house (pic of small white house) was ready. The cement plant supplied a lot of Northwest projects including the Coulee Dam. It closed in the 1990’s. Rugged country I kept remembering the story of russ shooting an Elk up in the Mountains and needing help to get it down to town. Carved it on the kitchen table we had for years as the kids grew up. Beautiful river next to us on the drive up. The town has seen better days but on the way back we went to Lake Sullivan where Nancy & family used to go for a swim, camp & picnic.
