Sorry, this should have been posted about a week ago... photos and trip were taken on Sunday the 3rd.
We got the flu. Ick. We got skis. Yay! We got out on Sunday for a loop over and up to Challis, then over to Stanley, back home.
Route. Pictures from the day:
Looking back towards Ketchum, about 10 miles out of town.
Great colors this time of year!
Finally got to use the Cruiser a little closer to its full potential. I didn't get photos of the tougher sections, but let's just say I'm super happy with how it tackled some more challenging terrain!
Bridger did a lot of sleeping in the car. Then, after going to bed at 9:00 like usual, he decided that he was up and ready to start his day at 2:00 AM. It was a rough night, but we're back to a regular schedule now (in terms of sleep). We're all feeling quite a bit better, but this week has been brutal. I've been intending to put this post together all week, and just have not been able to get to it. We got a babysitter and got out for a mountain bike ride yesterday; temps in the mid 70's never happen in the second week of October here, but it has been awesome! Looks like we'll be seeing highs in the 50's and 60's now from here on out, like normal. It was great though to get one last day in the mountains with shorts and short sleeves! Trail conditions were perfect... I didn't bring the camera, but even if I had i would not have been able to bring myself to stop and take pictures. The descent was awesome... carving through a pine forest, trail covered in pine duff. It was so grippy and fast and fun!! Some rocks and roots to keep it interesting, but mostly wide open throttle! Mom, I promise we'll take some more Bridger photos and post them up soon... Catch you all later!
