Idaho BS thread in the PNW

Holy sh!t cold! At least coming from FL waters. Haha!

Yes Sir. Technically the house is off Pend Oreille River according to Google maps, but they are the same body of water.

Florida has its own special climate...just bring your wetsuit you’ll be good

 

For the locals! Saw this at Silverwood Boulder Beach yesterday.

 

Just visited there a couple weeks ago. Cute little park, and So beautiful in that area...

 

Looking for a pair (L&R) stock U-bolt plates only for a 2010. Have U-bolt with flip plates for trade. Boise area.

I'm changing over to air bag overloads

 

SE Idaho Part 1: Double Dose of Indian Hot Springs
July 1, 2019.

The day started out just like any other. Well, any other where the previous included a 12-hour drive from home to the starting point of our next adventure.

So it was that, as we lay in bed, I looked over and said, "I've got an idea."

Hey! Get. Your. Head. Out. Of. The. Gutter.

See, we'd planned to spend the day heading to Indian Hot Springs via the east entrance - a dirt track that we'd been meaning to take since we'd first come to Idaho 18 months ago to pick up the CBI Outback Bumper. Having run our of time, we'd headed straight down to The Maze, Canyonlands, and we'd never made it back. Then, at dinner the night before, Ben reminded me that he and Kirsten had tried to reach the springs via the west entrance - stymied by a rock slide on the final descent down into the valley.

So I proposed to @mrs.turbodb that we try the west route first. And then, if we couldn't make it down, we'd drive around to the east. But if we could - and if we could ford the Bruneau River (since the bridge over the river had reportedly been out for a few years) - then we could do both sides on our way east towards City of Rocks, our next destination.

Day 2...

As we pulled up to our spot - campsite #4 - at Twin Sisters, a surprise! Tents were already setup in "our spot." And what's this? - someone else's name on the reserved sign. Uh oh. I checked the reservation. Yep - I had a confirmation email, my credit card had been charged. And then, I noticed - we'd reserved spot #64 - as far away from Twin Sisters as you could physically get, a site that I'd looked at but - I thought - only in passing. There'd clearly been a snafu somewhere along the way - either in the web site, or between the keyboard and monitor.

How'd we get here and what did we see? Check it all out in Day 2: We Take Up Residence in Idaho's City of Rocks

OK, tell me more about this. I've never heard of such a thing in CA or WA... they seriously stop all flow from a river? What of the fish and other wildlife downstream?

Maybe I'm just misunderstanding...

 

Its just what they do man. They slow down (not stop) the flow. For irrigation purposes.

 

Went fly fishing when I was up in Boise last weekend, caught some rainbows and a brown

Pretty cool fly fishing on a river right in town

 

I catched some feesh at milner yesterday.

Caught 10, 2 keepers. A few decent small mouth.

Yum

 

Smallmouth are tasty

 

I prefer trout. But when prepared correctly smallmouth aint bad.

 

Smoked trout is good. I like a foil pack trout with lemon butter, dill, salt and pepper. With a side of wild rice

 

Fucks wrong with you?? trout is amazeballs

 

Fair enough... id kill for some fried trout right now tho... but Im starving cuz my diet. Id eat anything rn
