First road into Washington

Mullan Military Wagon Road
Captain John Mullan built this first road into Washington in 1860. It started in the middle of Montana, went to Spokane, and then south to Walla Walla. [article]

He and his crew reached the top of what is now called Fourth of July Pass (near Coeur d'Alene) on... Duh! the 4th of July. We took this picture on Sprague Ave., not far from us.

Team Spokane's historical sign entry.

    That's a match for Marcia's Lil Red Mailbox.
