Wonder how much flour, beans, coffee and medicinal whiskey came out of those cubby holes Gus. Nice piece of history you got there. Many a bisquit was formed there no doubt. I notice some writing on the doors too. Bet they could tell some stories.

I think some Indian tribes were sent to reservations far away from their tradtional homelands. Pocatello and his people are an exception to the rule and very fortunate in this respect. Good post Dirtrider.
