Camping! And catching tropical fish...in Idaho!!

Last weekend we had a blast. We went camping with Jesse's cousin Bryon and his wife, Emily (and their dogs of course, Trigger and Laela). We went to a place called the Donkey Hills (strange name, but gorgeous place!). It is just east of the majestic Pahsimeroi mountain range in central Idaho. We were about a 2 hour drive away from any civilization and we didnt see another soul while we were out there. That is the best kind of camping! Jesse and Bryon got up early and went exploring where they saw herds of elk and antelope. Later when we all went, we saw more antelope. I love the wildlife, and I loved seeing all the different birds, too, including 2 huge golden eagles. We took an extremely overgrown bumpy road to get to where we wanted to camp, and now Jesse's little white Honda is not so white! But we know that it can go places that only large pick-ups and 4-wheelers should go now! That poor car is a trooper. But we made it with no problems. We had yummy dutch oven dinner and dessert and enjoyed sitting around the campfire. I got to use my brand new 30-below sleeping bag, and I was so toasty and warm I didnt want to get up in the morning! We really had a blast and will definitley be doing more of this! The best part though, was when we were leaving, we stopped by this pond that is a natural spring heated from the earth that constantly stays about 75-80 degrees. A long time ago, someone started dumping tropical fish in it and they just thrive there! It was so crazy because this pond is tiny, and literally out in the middle of NOWHERE! But we found it, and caught some tropical fish for Bryon and Emily's fish tank at home! It was the weirdest thing, but pretty awesome! Here are a few pictures, but for more, click here!
