Exploring island park, ID

After some delicious egg and cheese burritos, we collected firewood for the evening campfire. Drove a bit further south to spend the day exploring the area around Island Park, Idaho. Saw some history at a preserved cabin near Big Springs, then explored a few areas of the Henry’s Fork portion of the Snake River, which is another renowned trout fishing river, but I was only able to catch a couple baby trout.

Further down the river in an area called Box Canyon. Traded another $5 lure for a mini trout

John Sack, the builder of this cabin, was only 4′ 11″ so everything is tiny

Enjoyed a delicious dinner at a place called Boondock’s. Once again, Yelp was spot on with reviews and recommendations to find a good place to eat. Cindy had the fish and chips and I had to try the local rainbow trout w/ shrimp. Both were great, plus a to-go item for the morning.

Continuing south today to Rexburg.  Scheduled to get some new tires on the truck.  Normally not that that exciting, but when you rely on the truck and trailer for a place to live and travel, maintenance items like that seem much more important. Plus the road noise is getting quite annoying, so hopefully old tires are the cause..

Cindy plans on some lady maintenance while in town too, a long overdue pedicure!
