trip to Mackey Idaho Sept. 22nd and 23rd

This is at Magic Reservoir

The Sheep Bridge. This bridge is used when they move the sheep from the high country to the low country in fall. It is only about three feet wide and kinda scary to walk across.





I don't remember the name of this creek but it was crystal clear, unlike the Big Wood river which is full of ash and is the color of dark coffee.




A rattlesnake we found sunning hisself in the middle of the road going to Fish Reservoir.


I think this was in Arco Idaho.

Little Lost River, just south of Mackay Idaho.
