Nice Home

The individual that lives in this house is a retired airline pilot. Notice all the toys: plane, boat, kodiak boats, etc.

We saw several very nice houses along the river. We were told that bare land along the river was worth about $100k/acre. Frame houses cost about $130 per square foot. Log houses added another $50-70 per square foot.

Near the end of our trip we passed the Pump House restaurant where we had eaten lunch. The restaurant got its name from the water pumps that were used to blast the stone and gravel to loosen it for processing in the gold mining process.

Back to the Hotel

Surprise! There was a very nice shopping area associated with the Riverboat Discovery. We shopped until they were ready to close the shops, picking up a few more last-minute items.

Since Carol showed us the Princess Hotel and pointed out that it is just up the river a hundred yards from our place, we decided to eat there. We shared a sandwich and cup of soup.
