P. and I left Oregon and headed east and north into the coniferous dreamland of the Idaho panhandle, through tiny canyon towns with names like Halfway, White Bird and Horseshoe Bend. We wound our way through the mountains until evening, then broke camp somewhere in the middle of the 2.3 million acres of Payette National Forest. No one else. Just us, the dogs, the pines, and, for a fleeting, wondrous moment, a grazing mule deer doe.







Hope you have a marvelous weekend.
I know I sound like the biggest kiss-ass in the world but I seriously LOVE these updates!! You kids have a great time ;)
ReplyDeletei'm just tickled pink that people other than my mother actually read bigBANG. so delighted you're enjoying these posts, jen!
ReplyDeleteSo beautiful. And my heart sings when I see those little blue cups! Those are the quintessential camping cups. We had them too.
ReplyDeleteI love your world ~ keep the updates coming!
ReplyDelete(and Straus rocks ~ nothing compares!)
Your bed looks seriously comfy!
ReplyDeleteThe deer is beautiful, you can't buy moments like that. I also adore the dog/butterfly photo. Glad you're having such a great trip :)
I'm seriously going to have to convince my husband that he likes to camp and that we need a trail. Like really need. And we need to drive all over the place with said trailer and enjoy every moment of it. (Or at least close to every moment as I'm sure there would be a few un-fun ones involving bug bites and middle of the night trips to "bathroom.")
ReplyDeleteI am in love with your Scamp.
ReplyDeleteUtterly and unbelievably lovely to travel with you. Keep the pics coming :)
ReplyDeleteGood choice in jam, you crazy kids.
ReplyDeleteHi Lily,
ReplyDeleteThanks for the beautiful photos of Crater Lake. I've lived in Oregon for the majority of my life but have never made it there! I just posted my nominations for the "Versatile Blogger Award." Go take a peek! And please know, as far as I'm concerned, the award is yours to do with as you see fit! Thanks for your wonderful blog! Best..Gloria

ReplyDeleteAwesome!!! Love seeing pics of the inside of the scamp, too. You've made it look so fresh and modern and... liveable! You may gasp at this, but I've never even heard of these little things until you! Now I'm in love!
ReplyDeleteOh, the wanderlust is killing me! I'm really enjoying your blog and the sweet stories of your journey. And I totally want to take a nap in the scamp!
ReplyDeleteI've been spending a good minute or two looking at these pictures and imagining what it feels like to wake up in that cozy bed and smell the delicious outdoors. jealous!
ReplyDelete(p.s. i hope it's okay that i link to your blog from mine in a sort of "recent blogs of interest" post! If it's not cool I will remove that business toute-suite)
