Idaho: more than potatoes

Finally! A weekend that we don't work! We fully took advantage by taking a subaru getaway. We drove to Carmen Idaho and camped by the river in the subi and played speed and 'would you rather' all night while eating riduculous amounts of cookies, then drove 30 miles outside of Salmon in the morning to the trailhead of Goldbug hotsprings. We hiked in 3 miles to the most beautiful hotsprings I've been to yet. You head into a canyon following a river and then you hit them; Pools running into other pools it was incredible! The ones at the top are REAL hot, and get progressively cooler towards the bottom. One of my new years resolutions was to be comfortable naked (fat chance but i've been trying to accept myself). SO, we went naked... THINKING it would just be us. I mean who else would drive 3 1/2 hours and hike 1 1/2 on a sunday to this remote location? Aparently not just us. We're naked, hangin out in the wilderness having good times when up come two guys, who proceed to ask if they can share our pool. awkwaaaard. ciara and i, captains of strangeness have a giggle fest. THEN... a family shows up.. who are also naked. so aparently, it's totally acceptable to be naked. who knew? suprisingly enough, it wasn't so bad. it was pretty sweet actually. I frickin LOVE where I live. and idaho? who knew? i've found montana's rival.

Meet David

"This is my boyfriend Daaave. Daaave, this is everybody". Just kidding, but I do hope to keep him around a while.

This is how we roll

This may seem like unusual behavior. I assure you it is not. This is what we do, when we're not being adventure extremists. Just another Thursday night.

HOLLAND FALLS

Last weekend my friend Cyndle and I drove up to Seeley Lake (which is where I'd love to settle down at SOMEday) and went snowshoeing up to Holland Falls. I've been here in the summer before, with Ciara and also my summer camp kids, (the pictures are on here) and it was just as cool in the winter. No pun intended. Man, Montana is so beautiful.
