Ilbäcken, Skamhed, Vansbro

Wednesday morning we began our tour around Dala-Järna


Isals Way

Then in an organization started in 1891,
 there is a picture of Grampa Isal Larsson. 



The documentation

With the men who did all the research 
Mats, Anders, Elwood, Gean, Rune


Perhaps the barn of Isals family

Isal wrote his name above the window

in May 1889

The fabulous groomed trails for skiing
Gorgeous countryside


Often the roads took you between a house and their barn

Rune put flowers on his wife's grave. 
 It's been 10 years today, since she passed away.
