Neat place. We hunt just outside of there. Really good hunting country and super people too.
My Great Great Grandad founded the first town in Valley County Idaho in 1883, Van Wyck. We have a family gravesite Crown Point Cemetery right next to Lake Cascade.
Thank you for the vid and the great memories! I moved to Atlanta at 16 years old in 1948 while Atlanta was in its heyday of activity. My parents ran the only gas station, along with a restaurant and bar named The Bank Club, directly across the road from The Hub, another restaurant and bar with pool tables. Two mines worked around the clock pulling out rich gold ore 7 days a week. we had around 200 families living in Atlanta in those fun days. Any old-timers still around from those days? Love to hear from you right here! thank you for indulging an old man!

Thanks for watching. I'm not sure if there are any old timers...but it is a wonderful place.
I passed thru Atlanta, about 50 years ago, while on a Boy Scout camping trip.
Pretty cool lil tour ....thanks
I grew up relatively near there, and would go to summer camp near Anderson Ranch Reservoir when I was a kid. I spent a lot of time in the area, Pine, Featherville, etc. Fun fact, the water level in Anderson used to be a lot higher until I swallowed a ton of it trying to water ski…

Alot of times the original head stones were wood and rotted away. I saw this at Custer, Idaho.
