Idaho Pics
« on: March 29, 2010, 11:12:05 PM »
I thought I'd post a few pics from some trips we've taken since moving up here. All of our trips so far have either been short overnighters or dayhikes within about 45 minutes of the house. My wife is heading back to TX later next month so I'll be taking the five oldest kids out for a four day backpack, probably along the Selway River. We're looking forward to summer when we can start getting up into the high country. Enjoy the TX warmth for me. We have rain/snow forecasted daily for the next week.

Nice pictures, Doc!  I have to admit I am a bit envious of you... I would probably never be home on weekends if I lived so close to backpacking heaven!
