St Pauls Mission. Found this little mission tucked back into the woods behind a really cool museum. The mission was started in 1845 and built to convert the Native Americans to Catholisism. This current structure was rebuilt in exactly the same way in 1939.

The site of Ft Colville is actually underwater now.

 

 

Area was recently thinned for the lumber. They did a good job.

 

Stayed at Kettle Falls Campground. There are no Kettle Calls because when the dam was built the area was flooded to create this man-made lake. In the background is a lumbermill.

 

Franklin Roosevelt Lake.

One stop that I had to make was to try to find my great great great grandparents on the mothers side and I knew they were from Canajohnarie, NY and the name of the cemetery. As it turned out, it was huge and I thought I had no hope at all but I did and I was very lucky as most of the tombstones can't be read at all they are so old.

When I was talking to the curator below, he told me Canajohnarie was pronouned Can a ja harry.

 

Garlock was the family name
