Tags: 3 month trip Idaho

Damn it has been a good first week. It snowed here (Sandpoint, ID) on Tues, Wed and Fri. It has been a great week.

My plans for the next 2 weeks were pretty much up in the air till yesterday. I will be spending the rest of this week in Idaho. Tomorrow, heading down to Mccall, Idaho(it will be a long day, ~350 miles on mostly 2 lane roads). Skiing at either Tamarack or Brundage mountain and then into Boise on Wed evening to see isitandlookout.

From there it is southeast to around Pocatello to visit 2 friends. I will probably do some skiing, or maybe just some snowshoeing and hot spring soaking.

Next week is sort of up in the air right now. Sun Valley or Southwestern Montana or Jackson Hole? The long range forecast shows fresh snow in Montana and Sun Valley on Sat->Monday. So I may start there. I have to hit Jackson atleast once as this is the last year for the tram.

Doug and Jim are the best hosts one could ask for. From wake up calls, to great breakfasts, to fresh huckleberry pies. I have been here 7 days and they have not kicked me out yet. I have to figure out a way to repay them.

PS: Skiing pictures are coming soon, I promise. Oh and did I say that Garrett came out via train from Seattle and spent the weekend?
