Day 47: Featherville to Ketchum On down Dollarhide and onto Warm Springs Road. At this point all of our camera batteries were dead. Somehow we had slacked off and not put them on chargers. We had three to rotate through so it shouldn't have happened. So for a couple hours all we...

Day 47: Featherville to Ketchum Traveling northeast along the South Boise. The roads were nice and wide and saw lots of use, until we turned off the river road and started to climb up into the mountains. We didn't see much snow and it was hot as blazes outside so we weren't too...

I had not heard that a fire hit that area. That's too bad. It's an incredible area. I prefer to be a little higher up and further away from the rivers. It felt pretty concentrated down there but once we were off any fork of the Boise we were on our own. Incredibly beautiful, yes.

Day 47: Featherville to Ketchum Click here for zoomable map and route download. We woke fairly earlier and were on our way just after nine. It takes such a long time to get going with kids! We planned on hitting the hotsprings here but every time we passed by one they were packed. So we...

Day 46: North Fork to South and a little beyond Day's driving stats and a not-very-good photo of the campsite.

Day 46: North Fork to South and a little beyond Buildings along an old mining town on the road down into Featherville. The town (settlement, rather) of Featherville. We almost bought a pizza in the only small grocery store in town but it was going to too expensive. They said...

Took a quick look at your website. Wonderful trip you guys are doing. I'll be watching it and thanks for putting the time in to write about it. I'm thirty as well, and, now, I admit that I'm jealous of the great trip. -jesse

It was a crazy color. I remember it being more blue. My camera also has a 'vivid' setting. I would guess that it enhances the hues or saturation of color. This one was taken with that setting on: These were taken in manual mode: I did take some notes but not a lot. I do most of this...

Day 46: North Fork to South and a little beyond Dropping down onto the Middle Fork... we traveled north for a few miles... trying to ferret out some hotsprings. And then we were climbing again into one of the prettiest valleys of the trip. There was no one else out there...

Day 46: North Fork to South and a little beyond We climbed up and over the next range of mountains towards the Middle Fork and then the South Fork of the Boise. We didn't do very many miles as it was sort of rest day for us. The first range we climbed after crossing the North Fork was fairly...

Day 45: North Fork to South and a little beyond Click here for zoomable map and route download. We started upriver towards the bridge that was closed. I had studied the reroute and it would take us far out of the way but was possible. We still wanted to try to cross the river or...

Day 45: South Fork to North and a little beyond We were really enjoying our campsite and decided that we would take a day off or at least the morning. We continued to fish and swim and play in the sand. Around noon a truck pulled down into the campsite - it wasn't quite visible from the...

Oh, I made an error. We camped that night on the north fork. We did fish and caught lots but no bullhead here. The next day we took an afternoon break at the hot springs on the south fork.

Day 45: into Idaho We entered the Boise National Forest north of Boise in a little town called Payette. From there we climbed over a mountain range, wove our way through a network of private summer-home road and finally ended up in Idaho City. We didn't do much historical research and we felt...

Pelican Cases that I found for sale by a member here. They were $100/pc which is a smoking deal. I think they're the 1600 maybe 1650. They fit perfectly side by side on the rack and I tied them down with cordelet (Thin, static, climbing-grade rope) from the handles. They worked great.

Day 45: into Idaho Idaho was a complete surprise for us. We had little idea what to expect and I hadn't even spent much time planning the route. From the western border to Ketchum is my own routing but from there I just jumped on the Trans-Id some members here run every summer and changed it up...

Day 45 and 46: Oregon into Idaho Click here for zoomable map and downloadable route. We awoke from our campsite just barely in NF land, packed up and climbed up over a pass heading further north than we had intended to go. Our mapped easterly route crossed private land and we didn't want...

Ga only requires a rear plate. The front can be whatever, old or even out of state. I'm with you guys though; it sounds a little off.

Day 44: Ochoco - Malheur Had I been paying attention to the road I would have realized that there was an obvious go-around to the washed out culvert that we were now stuck on. Realizing this, the pondering was over and we made piled some loose stones up into a sort of bridge. There weren't...

Day 44: Ochoco - Malheur After crossing a fork of the Malheur River (I still don't know how to pronounce most of the places we went in Oregon) we ventured on to some very little used roads. It was nearing the end of the day and though we'd had a swim/bath at the river crossing we were ready to...
