Idaho City Adventure







We were headed for Mcall and saw a turn for Idaho City, a place we hadn't been yet. We took the turn and then were on dirt roads for 37 miles. When we got to Idaho City I was pleasantly surprised. It is a very small town but ironically used to be the biggest city other than on the coasts due to a mining boom. They had some cute stores and museums. We had wanted to picnic but again it was raining. We ate in the car at a recreation area and wouldn't you know it it cleared up and the sun was out the rest of the day. Here are some nature shots I took along with a picture of a scary lizard. The first picture is funny. I was pushing Aspen. We were going along trying to catch up to Daren,Jude and Lily. I ran over something and after the lizard sighting I was a little nervous to look at what it was. Luckily it was just her shoe. I looked at her and both her shoes were missing. Luckily it was not too far back. It was like Hansel and Gretel's trail of bread crumbs.
