The Road to Nowhere (formerly FS39)

Well, just in time for the summer motorcycle traffic etc., North Pine Creek took out the road. We stopped this group of bikers who had gone under the road closed sign and made it to the other side of the washout. But what they didn't know, but we informed them, was that this was the little washout, the entire bridge at Lake Fork was taken out by the creek as well. So we let them make up their mind, to believe us, or to go on up the road another 5 miles to find the road totally impassible only to turn around and find that this piece had continued to erode and to find themselves stuck, behind the barrier that said road closed.


They turned around and came back across and went on a different route to North Idaho. Smart.
As you can see here, the road wasn't too sturdy.

How High is the Water???

Well, to answer that question...At Copperfield Park the water of the creek was level with the grass area!! You can see logs, bushes etc being carried by...and of course the roaring of the creek.

Butterflies

After we finished looking at the road destruction, we found a pile of butterflies enjoying the mud and sunshine. You can click on the movie and watch Terry harassing the wildlife. Also the roaring you hear in the background is the creek. It was awesome....Thank God the rain let up!

Memorial Day Fun

We had quite the crowd over the long weekend. The weather was 50/50 but we still got in some fishing, hot springs, kayaking, games, eats, and music around the fire. Great Fun.

I'm not even going to try to explain.....but it was fun!

Sara's Birthday

Happy Birthday To Sara. Melissa, Jessica, and Sara made a girls trip down to the river to help Sara celebrate her birthday. So they boated, fished, canoed to the hot springs and chilled around the fire pit roasting marshmallows. Much fun was had by all.
