Salmon River Cabins & Motel

1.0

By Anonymous

This place was closed down in 1980. I traveled from Salmon to Yankee Fork thru Cougar pt. 35 years ago and it was a wreck. I can`t believe it still there. It was to be torn down back then. Hey it is God`s country up there but what an eye sore this place is. ...read more

Redwood Cabins

1.0

By time alloy

A $50 value for $100. Bates Motel, ahem, Redwood Cabins has an owner that arrives at 2:20am drunk and with music blaring. When you get out of bed to knock on her door window to PLEASE turn down the music, she simply turns it up louder. Then she stumbles into the owners house. Yes, this was the owner being rude to patrons that would not recommmend the Redwood cabins to anyone. No TV, No radio, NO maid services, yes 3-4 inches of frost in the fridge, yes sink is fallin off the wall. DEAR SHERIFF: Please keep drunk motel owners off the roads!! ...read more

BRIDGE ST GRILL

1.0

By Tula

Recently visited the Bridge St. Grill. This is the worst food I think I've ever eaten. The owner was a total jerk about it when we called him on the quality, and don't even get me started on the rediculously poor service. It is totally beyond my comprehension how this rat-hole manages to stay in business. ...read more

Yankee Fork Gold Dredge

The dredge is 988 tons, 112 ft long x 54 ft wide x 64 ft high and has a draft of 8 ft. It has seventy-one (71) 8 cubic foot buckets; each one weighs a little over a ton. The dredge is powered by two (2) Ingersoll-Rand diesel engines each producing 350 HP at that elevation. The dredge ran from 1940 to 1952 stopping once from October 1942 until 1946 for WWII and then again in 1947 when Snake River Mining Co (Silas Mason) decided they were not making enough money and put it up for sale. In 1949 J.R. Simplot and a partner in mining, Fred Baumhoff, bought the dredge for $75,000 and started it up again in April of 1950. In 1952 Simplot ran out of original claim so leased a small section from the Morrisons; when they completed that section they shut the dredge off and walked away. Later in 1953 Morrison ask them to remove the dredge, or pay rent as the dredge still sat on their claim, and so Simplot's men started it up and dug themselves to the current position where it has sat ever since.  The Yankee Fork Gold Dredge is one of the best preserved and presented dredges in the lower 48 states. It was donated to the U.S. Forest Service by J.R. Simplot in 1966, and in 1980 the Yankee Fork Gold Dredge Association began providing guided tours to the public. The tours are self guided so you can stay as long as you want and explore the dredge at your leisure. We have volunteers stationed around the dredge to answer your questions that you might have and also as safety feature.  At the end of the tour you will be able to browse through our new picture gallery which has pictures of the dredge being built, running and the restoration. Also pictures of the men that worked on the dredge, wives that lived in camp and the kids that grew up on the Yankee Fork. Also we have some original documents that are very interesting to browse through and we have a few artifacts that have been donated.  We also have a new gift shop that was built in 2007. The old gift shop is now the picture gallery. The dredge is owned by the Forest Service but is run by the Yankee Fork Gold Dredge Association which is a group of volunteers. The board of directors actually has 3 directors that are children of a worker on the dredge. Two of those act as guides during the summer. ...read more
