Galena Iditarod Checkpoint #13
The town became important as a supply and transportation hub for the lead ore mines. Athabascans living a few miles upriver at Louden moved down to Galena to harvest and sell wood to the steamboats for fuel and also hauled freight for the mining companies. The first school opened in the mid 1920’s followed by a post office in 1932. Growth in the area was sparked by military installments built during WWII and later.

I'm in Adelaide at the moment and can't download your scenery. Promise I'll check it out when I get home. You better have made sure Jock is hidden there somewhere!
