Cool town...

Recommended Posts

I am reading a history of the town where I am living, and it turns out to be an extrememly cool place...

 

Thor Heyerdahl lived here when the Germans invaded Norway.

 

It is, to some extent, the birthplace of the 8 hour day, and the Worker's Compensation Board.

 

Also home to ski champions and was a big part of making Spoakne WA what it is.

Nelson feels like the big city to me these days!

 

I like being <5 min to the skiing.

 

Rest assured, it's not just you... plenty of others out there too.

 

I wasn't trying to say any one place is better than the other, just that here has some really cool history, that I am just learning about.
