History Lesson

Well I know it has been FOREVOR since I last posted, but we have been crazy busy (and stressed) with looking for jobs, packing, and moving, but more about that later.
Awhile back Chris checked a book out from the library on the history of Twin Falls. He was fascinated by it. Every day he was telling me about things he read, such as "this picture is where the corner of Main and Shoshone is," and it would be a picture of an old guy with a beard holding a shovel in the middle of a bunch of sagebrush. Anyway, one rare Saturday when he had nothing to do and nowhere to be, we set out to find the "Blue Lakes," which I never knew existed. I guess there's a reason why there is Blue Lakes Blvd. So we drove across the canyon and trespassed onto the Jerome Country Club golf course (shh, don't tell), and we found them! They are actually Blue. It was really pretty. We also realized that there is a lookout point where you can legally look at them, which we stopped at on the way back.
Chris also hoped to find the gravesite of Mr. Perrine himself, who apparently is buried down there somewhere, but in an effort to keep our trespassing to a minimum, we didn't look too hard.
Next we went down to Centennial Park and read a sign all about where the old grade used to come down into the canyon, which Mr. Perrine made. It went behind Centennial Falls. Chris had read about this as well, and even though he had been behind the falls before, he wanted go again, this time trying to see where the old grade would have been. It was pretty fun going behind the falls and Chris was satisfied with his determination of where the road must have come down.
Here are a few pics of our hands on history lesson that day:
