We went to the fish hatchery in Stanley. We were there during the salmon run so it was incredible! I was salivating just watching the salmon come in!!! It was really very fascinating and incredible to see the salmon swim upstream. They were HUGE! This picture is actually of one of the employees taking the trout out of the hatchery to take them to the river.
We went to Red Fish lake and rented a couple of paddle boats for an hour. It was really fun but hard on the calf muscles!
Our cabin is on the other side of the river and the road in to the cabin is not a great one. So we parked our cars on the highway and took the trolley car across most of the time. The kids loved it!
We stopped at EBR1 in Arco to see the museam for the first nuclear power plant. It was an interesting tour.
This is the Salmon River in the backyard of the cabin! We saw many floaters going down the river during the week but I didn't have the camara out.
We played games during our down time. Here is a picture of some of the crew having a great time!
We went to Custer one day and toured the ghost town. We actually didn't see much of the ghost town because almost everyone became fascinated with panning for gold. Some of the boys got gold fever and spent most of the week panning!
We got a flat tire at the gold dredge. Paul had to get a little dirty to take care of it.
We went swimming at a natural hot spring pool in Challis. The water was being cooled down by an inlet of cold water so it was only 98 degrees the day we were there. It was a little too warm for me but it was fun. I think we would have enjoyed it a little more if we had gone later afternoon! Here, Colton was preparing to dive for a ball coming his way!
One night, the guys all started wrestling so Paul got down with them and showed his stuff. It was a great trip and we can't wait to go back! That is the way to vacation! Thanks to the Oswalds and the Browns for the great memories!!!!
