Scenic Smelterville
Day 129
I hardly knew her!
August 2nd, 2010
I'm walking across America.
That's the idea, at least. I'm walking westward from New York City for nine months or so. If everything goes according to plan, I'll be in Oregon when the clock runs out. If nothing goes according to plan, maybe I'll end up in Peru or Mongolia or Pennsylvania. You can read all about the details of my trip if you're so inclined.

Here's my progress so far:
Looks like the structure and sign have been neglected. Smelterville, population 651. Wiki says the place recently gained prominence due to the addition of a Wal-Mart store. They should make use of the store’s hardware section (not the PC kind though)
I’ve never heard of this town… are there smelt around???
Oh so Minnesotan…smelt fry anyone???…
Don’t be sticking your nose where it don’t belong!
Smelterville….is that like Hooterville?
“Smelter??? I don’t even know her!!” Couldn’t resist. It’s a favorite cheesy joke of mine. heehee
katzien thank you for clarifying the caption. I wasn’t getting it until now. LOL!
OMG Matt *ROFL*
LOL! Took me awhile to “get” that one!
I googled Smeltzerville, Idaho and wikipedia says, “Smelterville has recently gained prominence in Shoshone County due to the addition of a Wal-Mart store.” *blink, blink*

WOW! Now when you go to Smelterville, you’re going to “town!”
Hmmmm….not sure what to make of this. Looks kind of deserted?
