Cabin Creek Lakes, Sawtooth Mountains, Idaho
I woke a little earlier, in time to stroll down to the lake just as the sun hit the far shore, I think this is my favourite picture I’ve taken of Pettit lake. After a flat 6 mile walk along Alturas Creek yesterday it was time for something more challenging, the Alturas Creek trail is…
Washington Lake, Idaho
Having not reached Washington Lake yesterday I thought I should get there today using the regular approach from Fourth of July Road. I managed to roust Biff in time to get an early start (9am) on a beautiful sunny day. A few years ago there was a big fire on Fourth of July road, in…
Germania Valley, Idaho
Last year Janet and I hiked up to Fourth of July Lake and a little beyond to what we thought was Washington Lake, as it turned out the second lake we got to was unnamed and Washington Lake a bit further down the trail. Inspecting the map I saw that Washington Lake was also accessible…
Near Pettit Lake, Idaho
Pettit Lake, Idaho Once again I find myself camped at Pettit Lake in Idaho, my fourth annual visit to the lake. I camped one night just outside the forest service campground waiting for a space to become available. Behind The Caravan was a small hill with good views up and down the Salmon River From…
Good Morning Winterfell
The morning after the last episode of Game Of Thrones was suitably dressed
Snowy Walk with Biff on Sand Creek
It was a lovely snowy day for a walk, no wind and 34F. I enjoyed it so much that we walked 6.8 miles rather than our usual 4.4 mile loop. The cliffs appeared and disappeared as snow clouds drifted across the Velvet Ridge The Giant Red Monster made a brief appearance (not Biff, the cliff!)…
Mojave Snowbird Trip – The Journey Home
Finally it was time to start heading north to colder climes. The first stop was only 75 miles north in Parker Arizona, or actually in Earp, California just across the river. I bought a new patio mat in Parker at a very useful RV store, BIff seemed to enjoy his new “grass”. The next day…
Mojave Snowbird Trip – Tank Bridge
So, not having found the bridge I needed to make one more attempt, we took a rest day to recover from walking on all those rocks then set off in search of the mystery bridge. We drove the little road stopping at the place calculated to be closest to the canyon with the bridge, at…
Mojave Snowbird Trip – Horse Tanks
The maps I’m looking at have a bridge marked up a canyon near where I have been the last two days, near the base of the canyon there is also a notation of some Horse Tanks. I though these would be man made tanks like those for cattle, but not at all! I drove right…
Mojave Snowbird Trip – Tank Arch
I am camped on King Road which continues up the hill from my site and through a gap in the mountains to the east, I had to see where it went. As I drove through the gap I happened to look over at exactly the right moment to see a tiny arch high on the…
