© They claim that the Northwest had advanced civilization prior to the East Coast. Maybe it stems from one of the theories that the continents were connected. It may have been that countries were looking for riches and didn't want to be robbed by pirates. At any rate, ten years ago in Montana, a group of archeologists during a 50 foot dig, found copper wire. This wire indicated a phone system approximately 153 years ago. The news was widespread.

An Italian, Antonio Meucci was credited with inventing the telephone in 1849. A Frenchman, Charles Bourseul was given credit in 1854. The United States gave Alexander Graham Bell the patent on the phone in 1876. Puzzling questions: "Did other countries recognize what we as Americans did?" or better yet, "Did the Americans recognize other countries efforts?"

Shortly after the discovery of the copper wire in Montana, another archeological dig was completed in Oregon. Their dig at 30 feet found copper wire which

dated back 165 years, beating Montana's copper wire by 15 years. Truly noted since Oregon is closer to the coast.

With everyone researching the new found copper wires, a precedent was in order to prove whether the East Coast was actually inhabited first, and whether it's technology was second to the northwest.

A few years ago, during a dig in Fairfield, a farmer was digging a new foundation for a barn located near the foothills. His dig was about 80 feet wide and 30 feet deep. The archaeologist crew which had made the discovery of copper wire figured Fairfield was in line with the other existing phone lines discovered in the Northwest. They immediately came to Fairfield.

The dig site was investigated with a fine tooth comb. Absolutely nothing was found! Not a wire one! The conclusion was that Idaho had already gone wireless prior to the Montana and Oregon discoveries.

When one hears the phase: "To the Moon and Back," one can expect that something is a long ways away, or it is a little out there. Maybe that is to say about the Northwest and copper wires indicating an early phone system. Or maybe??? the story??? hasn't been dug deep enough?

But, in all truth, they are currently laying fiber optics beside the Craters of the Moon along Highway 20/26/93. The phase "To the Moon and Back" is actually happening. Only in Idaho. Maybe someday they will say, "Huh, Idaho really did go wireless."
