Shoshone Falls

I.Love.Road.Trips! 

DJ and our friend, Doug, headed out a week ago Friday morning on their motorcycles. They took the back roads up to Twin Falls, ID.

They set up camp at Porcupine Campground ~ 28 miles west of Shoshone Falls.

Ben and I headed out Saturday morning about 6:30 am in my Yukon pulling the ATVs. 

We drove for an hour and a half then pulled into a rest area to check the ATVs. I'm so glad we did! There was only about 3 ft. left of the strap for the Sportsman ~ It was a new strap too. I have no idea how long we drove without the Sportsman being strapped down ~ God is good and was certainly watching over us!

We met DJ and Doug at a truck stop close to Shoshone Falls. We grabbed a bite to eat then headed over to the falls.

 Shoshone Falls ~ Beautiful!

The Snake River trickles and cascades all over the place

So pretty

Getting ready to head up to Porcupine Campground

That's where we are headed

Nice Mural

Heading west ~ doesn't look like we we're headed towards anything to exciting does it?

Ben had the camera :)

He's fun to travel with :)

So quiet ~ After we got to camp we took the ATVs and motorcycles out for a ride. We went about 40 miles.

We stopped so the boys could look for a geo cache ~ they didn't find it.

Mountain Road

Dusty from the ride.

We stopped and picked up firewood along the way.

Beautiful country ~ reminded me a lot of Hardware Ranch here at home.

 A little blurry ~ took this as we were driving

Porcupine Campground

Taken from my seat by the fire pit as night began to fall :)

Ben went searching for a bit more wood

Nothing as wonderful as sitting by a campfire watching the flames dance!
The stars were amazing :)

Breakfast time ~ DJ made breakfast burritos over the fire.

Ben and I went for a quick ride after breakfast.

We rode down into that valley ~ I just wanted to keep on riding :)

You can see Ben's dust up ahead of me

Heading back home

Maybe he's counting the bullet holes in the sign?

Doug and DJ ready to hit the road

As we came around the corner towards Corinne this is the lovely air we came home to ~ Wildfires create such havoc on your lungs!

As always it was nice to get away even for a short time.
