We just returned from an epic road trip. 1,500 miles in five days through some really remote (and some not so remote) country. Redfish Lake and the Sawtooth Recreation Area, where have you been my whole life? The area made me fall in love with Idaho all over again, Idaho's other shortcomings notwithstanding.
The trip to Park City (via Stanley and Redfish Lake) was just my son and I, my little buddy, as my husband had a work-related meeting. He was such a great road trip buddy, I can't even begin to describe it. Never, well, hardly ever, complained and so helpful. The kind of road trip buddy that will roll down his window so you can take a picture of the sandhill crane. And on the way home, a complete family with hubby included, and this time I didn't have to do the driving! I could finish my bike yarn bomb for Moscow's Artwalk and knit a saddle blanket for "Neigh Neigh."
Park City was nice, but I loved Stanley, ID, population 63. The winters are pretty rough though. Luckily we caught it in a mellow June, and not a typical June with snow squalls. I didn't love Sun Valley and Ketchum. All those fancy stores, but the yarn shop is hard to find. I'd take Whitefish, MT any day.
Here are some of the trip highlights:
