Friday morning, the car was loaded, no snow in Joseph, but snow was in the forecast...Four ladies, Pam at the wheel, Sue co-pilot, Jan and I back seat drivers...We didn't even get 5 miles out of town, before we encountered snowy roads...For the next 50 miles, we followed the two lane "road," made by hunters on their way to hunting camp...Luckily, traffic was only going "one way."
Headed toward Salt Creek Summit
Fall Colors? Not what we had in mind, but
beautiful anyway.
Without getting out to measure we estimated the snow to be about 4 to 6 inches, but with a great driver and our all wheel drive subaru we had no problems.
Smiles of relief, the snowy roads ended.
We made a side trip into Halfway and enjoyed the autumn colors and think that might be a place to visit on another trip...Cornucopia, twin lakes was mentioned as possibilities...We oohed and awed our way along Oxbow reservoir, crossed at Brownley dam and continued to wind around and up until we arrived at Cambridge, when we stopped for lunch...Tummy's too full, we made our way to Mundo (Moon Doe) hot springs, where we quickly changed into swim suits and soaked for the next two hours in the sparkling mineral water...It was sunny with blue skies...We relaxed, visited and unwound, before continuing our journey.
Doesn't this look wonderful?
Then it was time to move on to our destination, a cottage nestled in the trees in McCall, Idaho...The town where I grew up, many years ago.
Quaint Little Cottage, our home for the next two days.
We soon had the car unloaded, Sue and Jan chose their bedrooms upstairs, Pam and I downstairs, food put away, we were already thinking this cabin suited us and felt like home...We took a walk, only a few blocks to the shore of Payette lake, then returned to heat our soup and bread for dinner, before dealing cards for a game of Five Crowns...We were in bed before 11pm...Hugs To All...OWAV:) (To be continued)
Sunset over Payette lake
Happy to start a new adventure.
