It’s a couple of days after the trip wrapped up, but here’s the quick summary from Sunday:
After an early wakeup to watch the sun rise we ate extraordinary amounts of bacon at the lodge’s buffet, then packed up and headed out. The plan was to find cranes in the Stanley basin, but after a wildlife-free tour we headed back towards Boise. The lone stop on the way was in the former gold mining town of Idaho City where I may or may not have befriended one of the locals.
Had this guy not been chained to the porch, my carry-on might have been a lot heavier.
