On Thursday morning we drove to a tiny town called Rexburg and visited a small museum called Teton Flood Museum. There was a flood back in 1976 from a dam that broke. Part of the town was flooded and numerous areas north and south of them. The museum had things about the flooding but what I found interesting was the historic things – pictures to follow of course 
A butter churn:
Wouldn’t you love to use this washing machine:
Two antique quilts (real antiques):
A display of irons:
A sewing supply chest – I think this is an interesting box:
A tumbling block quilt with embroidery on the plain blocks – this was in a glass case so the photo is not real clear:
A close up of the embroidery but because it was behind the glass it didn’t come out as clear as I would have liked:
This is the sign that was with this quilt:
A grandmother’s flower garden – I saw no date with it:
All of the quilts and this wall hanging below were hand quilted. Some of this wall hanging had fabric paint on it:
Other than this machine saying “Singer” I saw nothing else on it to indicate what kind. It does look a lot like a featherweight but I wouldn’t say it was it for sure:
We arrived in our old town of Arco after lunch today. Surprisingly enough it is still 80 degrees at 2:13 PM, it has been that same temperature since we got here at one. We are not in a shady spot (all taken) so we are out in the sun. I hope the temperature doesn’t get too hot late this afternoon. We have the air on already though to prevent the motor home from getting too hot. We will have the windows open this evening and night as it gets down in the 50’s so is very nice with a couple windows open to sleep.
Our telephone internet is working great out here in the middle of this little oasis in the sage brush desert so I will continue to post photos as I take them. We are getting ready to go exploring now that we have our camp set up.
