    Klondike Park : Welcome to Klondike Park in Augusta Missouri. The park is now owned by Saint Charles County. I remember going in there back in the late 1970’s looking for snakes. The guy that lived across the street from my Grandparent’s worked there at the time. That is also around the time the quarry closed. They use to query silica sand to make glass. As you look through my pictures you will see some of the sand. I remember hearing story’s about the query, several of my relatives worked there back in early to mid 1900’s. The closes relative that worked there was my Grandfather. Actually some of my relatives actually started the quarry and my Grandfather helped them set it up and get it running. At that time highway 94 did not come up the hill past the quarry so they made there own road to haul the equipment in. One story my dad told me was Grandpa was driving an old Mac truck with a huge crusher on it. The load was so heavy they hooked two dump trucks to the back of it to help hold it back going down the hill into the quarry. Both of the cables broke but luckily he kept the truck under control and managed to stop it with out getting hurt. Once the quarry started Grandpa ran a steam shovel. One day he laid it over because he tried to pick up to much weight. One of the workers told me there is still an old steam shovel hidden some where out in the brush. I hope to find it this winter when all the leaves drop. It would be really cool to locate it and then somehow find out if my Grandfather actually ran it. He didn’t work there very long which we where all very thankful for because a lot of the workers ended up dieing from Silicosis. Silicosis is a lung disease that is contracted from breathing the fine silica sand. My Dad also told me that my Great Aunt Easter and her husband ran a boarding room on the quarry property and she use to cook the workers lunch. From the way my dad remembers the story’s this took place around the great depression. I hope to return to the park this fall to get the great colors when the trees start turning so check back for more pictures. Thanks for looking and I hope you enjoy your trip through Klondike Query. Please leave your comments and especially if you know some more history from this fascinating location.

    Missouri River : I call this a “Missouri River Tornado”. I shot this at the river front in Washington. There was a lot of fog laying low on the river when the sun started coming up they started forming. They would form then keep growing and moving slowly along the river. Then they would just start to disappear. Have a great day!
