We left Utah on Sunday July 5th and headed North. It was a beautiful day and the drive was great! Lots of beautiful scenery. We decided to stop over in Boise for the night. The campground was nice but very crowded together! On Monday we left Boise and headed up to McCall, Idaho. Once again it was a beautiful drive. We followed the Payette River up the canyon to McCall. What a beautiful river!We are camping at Ponderosa State Park. The. campsites are great and quiet. We do have a neighbor that John has taken up a friendship with, a ground squirrel. Don't think he has a name, but John calls everyone "Fred" so that may be his name.
The Ponderosa State Park would be a jewel in any setting. Add to this its location on the edge of the Payette Lake, and you have a state park that is awe-inspiring. It encompasses nearly 1,500 acres filled with old growth Ponderosa Pine, Douglas Fir and several other varieties of trees. Its area included hillsides covered with wildflowers, unique wetlands, marshes, lake and river habitats and numerous forms of wildlife.The terrain itself varies from lakeside beaches to precipitous cliffs.
On our walk the in the morning we discovered this little fox that was crossing the road. He didn't seem to mind that we were there in his forest.
All is well and we are enjoying the area and all the things to see..... more later.
Love
Candy and Johnny
