I love our state and Saturday, we went on a hike that gave me even more reason to love it. We visited the ghost town of Franklin, WA which is only about 30 minutes away. It was a mining town that had a suspicious mine fire kill 37 miners. When the coal mining industry slowed down, the town's residents left to look for jobs and now all that is left is a cemetery, the mine shaft that has a grate over it now, some mine car tracks and a foundation.
Right near the entrance to the parking area is a one-lane bridge that goes over the Green River Gorge. It was stunning. Waterfalls are beautiful.
After having to work hard to get the boys to get along on the hike (talking about Minecraft finally got them walking side by side), it was nice to see them voluntarily doing something together.
