While staying at Bear Lake, I traveled north into Idaho and found a tiny place called Fish Haven. I couldn't believe that a house of this size was on this spot of the map.
I thought there were two homes built beyond this fence but as I examine it, it is a house-sized four-car garage with a room for a guest or two.
The only business that I found in Fish Haven was a combo liquor store and Idaho-style deli, which sold lotto tickets. It was like walking through a long narrow trailer except it was made of wood.

Originally, this Fish Haven was called Rush Creek in 1864 and was founded by the Shirley family (two brothers had married two sisters in South Africa and they came to America after joining the Mormon pioneers. They were always together and at one time lived in the same house. Fish Haven is 2.5 miles north of the Utah border on the shores of Bear Lake.
Linking to good fences.

Well as long as you could buy a beer and a burger there's not much more we need is there.
ReplyDeleteHanging moles is an old tradition that showed how efficient a mole catcher was. Some farmers still do it.
